Well Ive got this story –
Not too long ago
September brought love songs,
November came and you let me go.
When I asked for reasons
You blamed circumstance.
The timing was wrong like the Dire Straits song
And this is how it ends…
Told me you kissed another man,
Well heres your independence.
You said were no angels, now heavens on fire.
Were burning down the only home Ive ever known.
A love this courageous takes patience, so fight.
Everybody knows its all about control so just let go,
Just let go…
How could I have known that youd take it upon yourself?
In a New York apartment with your two lips parted,
To kiss him back when you knew how I felt.
Does he know that place just behind
The spot where your neck flirts with your jawline?
Can he feel it in the palm of his hand,
Pinning back fields of strawberry strands?
You said were no angels, now heavens on fire.
Were burning down the only home Ive ever known.
A love this courageous takes patience, so fight.
Everybody knows its all about control so just let go,
Just let go…
Half-tucked inside the sleeves
Of a sweatshirt you stole from me
Were shaking hands and longing arms.
But now I sing
To an angel without wings,
With no courage, no courage in her love.
You said were no angels, now heavens on fire.
Were burning down the only home Ive ever known.
A love this courageous takes patience, so fight.
Everybody knows its all about control so just let go,
Just let go…
