Out the back door through the screen
Spilling milk like broken dreams
I won't rest til you are on your knees
And heartbeats come and heartbeats go
Living like I didn't know
Loving you is poetry that I bleed
She sang so sweet with her soft mouth
A myth that I once heard about
A girl, a lovely warning I won't heed
If I had courage I had swords
I'd show her what a hero's for
And wash this tired world til she felt clean
1, 2, 3, 4
Pieces of my heart are yours
5, 6 7, 8
If you're with me I'm okay
If you're with me I'm okay
We climbed atop my broken dreams
Rode them through these empty streets
And noticed that our laughter sounds like screams
We never had a single need
But found our faces set with greed
Lost my white knight when I found mouths to feed
There's mermaids in these shallow streams
There's mermaids in these shallow
1, 2, 3, 4
Pieces of my heart are yours
5, 6 7, 8
If you're with me I'm okay
If you're with me I'm okay
If you're with me I'm okay
If you're with me I'm okay
If you're with me I'm okay
I'm sorry I am not a man
With riches and a steady plan
I did the best with what is in my hands
And as her gold hair turns to silver
I wonder if I may have k**ed her
With promises of things I could not grant
With promises of things I could not grant
I watch the sun set in his eyes
Between the start and finish line
