EI'm counting out dollars while I limp to your brownstone.
I can Ajust barely cover what I nAmeed to get back home.
And I knF#mow we're allowed indiscretion in our lives,
but I've been maB7king mine count every night for a while.
I keep dEeleting your number and name from my cell phone,
but I cAall every day; that's as Amfar as my act goes.
What you F#mhave helps me turn down the noise that I make,
but when it sB7tops it just pokes me and keeps me awake.
My frEiends always warned about living cliches
but my fAriends aren't there when I mAmeet you these days.
I count pF#meople and street signs from the back of your car
and then B7skip back excited to wherever they are.
riff 1
I take risks in the stall while they talk by the bar.
I won't go back outside 'til my memory starts
erasing itself into something less brutal,
some beautiful bullshit I pretend to belong to.
For as lEong as the truth tucks itself into bed,
and the bAeat of my heart and the hAmeat of my breath
keep me hF#mopeful and distant and proud of myself,
I'll keep rB7inging your bell every night around twelve. E
