lyrics

You came at a time when I was feeling dread,
I took some comfort in the words you said
I felt that we were moving, moving straight ahead
Didn’t take too long 'til you took over my head

Too many times I was standing in line and I didn’t even know what for
And now I hear you knocking, well you’re pounding at my door
Yelling do “I love you”, well one thing’s for sure...

I got bruised and battered along the way, digging the landscape
I'm pleased to meet you truly, pleased we’re taking shape
But don’t fault my eyes for looking, always looking for an escape

Too many times you were acting kind of evil, I see it everywhere we go
Hurting on your neighbors, hurting on your lovers, why I do not know
fire’s burning steady, never are you ready to stop that brutal flow

Well please won’t you tell me, won’t you tell me what is true?
You talk about the notion of endless devotion, well this is nothing new
You talk about nothing unless it has to do with you

If you want to be here, come join me on the floor
But if you want to play those games, well keep going next door
'Cause I don’t want to live that way, don’t want to keep a score

Too many times I was standing in line and I didn’t even know what for
And now I hear you knocking, well you’re pounding at my door
Yelling do “I love you”, well one thing’s for sure...

I thought that I did love you, but I was in over my head
I think I was enchanted by everything you said
But now I know if you stay here I’ll wind up dead
