Tell me the reason you're scared
And why, in the morning, the ringing in your ears
Wakes you up, holds you down, and sings you "hallelujah"
And lulls you back to sleep
It sounds like an old TV screen
With your fingers in the carpet and your nose against the glass
You hear your name inside the shush of the static
Soft and incomplete
Show me the look in her eyes
At the one remaining table in that gallery cafe
As you grasp at the glimmer of a feeling
And hope she'll see it, and stay
Give me the smile on your face
Pull on my cheeks and pour liquor in my veins
Until I'm back inside my blurring body
Blind until I sleep

That tree in the yard
With the neighbors' old cars
Was the first of the bastions of youth
That you put to your chains, with its quiet old age
As I watched from the porch with no shoes
I guess you'd forgotten that note
That I tried as I wrote
To give life to the countless green hours
That I spent with my dad in its branches, just glad
For the freckles of light on his brow
And that house down the street
With chipped paint at its feet
We'd run bare with soap in our eyes
Down the tilted dark halls, with the cigarette walls
And a blanket of arms when we cried
It's not the hill that makes you a king
And it isn't the finger that makes you a ring
But where were you then in that 4 A.M. night
When the lights of the city streets caught you just right
And you still swear that you heard them sing
But you've set us adrift
And wrapped the boat like a gift
And I watched as you ate out the heart
Of a city I've loved, where you see pictures of
Some odd silvery world
When reflections unfurl
As the light makes a sheen on the bricks in the rain
They've seen someone's first kiss, and seen someone's near miss
Held the blood of a daughter and the weight of the mist
And the things I could never just put in a song
But that you'll never miss when they're gone

Do you recall
The tune that I sang
That never found a way out of your head?
Do you recall the way it left your eyes
Like I recall the notes leaving my hands?
I come around, you're sleeping in your sister's bedroom
I would never have known
I come around and wish that I could be there
But I'm in these words, are you?
Maybe I believe the song is still the same
Maybe I believe you won't forget my name
Maybe I believe I'm more than I believe
To you, but always back to me
Do you recall
The voices that I heard
That always cast a shadow on my eyes?
Do you recall
You said you heard them too
So we just sat and listened for a while
I come around, you kiss me on the lips and tell me
You just needed a friend
Don't make a sound and wish that I could be that for you
Counting down from ten
Maybe I believe the song is still the same
Maybe I believe you won't forget my name
Maybe I believe I'm more than I believe
To you, but always back to me
And far away
In some strange imagination where we've never met
Would we be happier there - well if I knew, then who the hell would I be?
Maybe I believe the song is still the same
Maybe I believe you won't forget my name
Maybe I believe I'm more than I believe
To you, but always back to me
