[Primeira Parte]If I had to break it downI'd say it's the way you love to danceMovin' the furniture when my back is turnedThe flick of the lights and the world fallsAway[Refrão]And your office job and your silver hairBut our shapes in the dark areThe reason I've stayed for all these years[Segunda Parte]I thought I was a geniusBut now I'm twenty-twoAnd it's startin' to feel likeAll I know how to do isPut on a suit and take it away[Refrão]With my fistful of tunes that it's painfulTo playFingernail worlds like favorite seashellsThey fill up my nights and then they floatAway[Terceira Parte]I've got hundreds of gownsI've got paintings in framesAnd a throat that fills with panicEvery festival dayDutifully fallin' apart for the PrincessOf Norway[Refrão]But you, with your doll's lashesYour infinite t-shirtsI should've known when your favoriteRecord was the same as my father'sYou'd take me down[Quarta Parte]I guess I'll always be this waySwallowed up by the words, and halfwayTo spaceBut there by the fire, you offered your handAnd as I took it, I loved youThe boy with the plan[Refrão]You felled me clean as a pineThe man with the axe and the lo- okEIn his eyes[Final]We've been through so many hard timesI'm writin' a love song for you, baby
