I can watch, I can wait Looking down from the fire escape Eyes are locked, chips are lost Tongues are tied and fingers’ crossed I wanted more than you could give I gave you more than you could take Taking us back to the glory days Give me everything, give me poetry Look me in the eyes when you’re making love to me Take me far away, back to where we came To the day when we were standing on the fire escape How’s your heart, how’s your day All the words we never say All the spaces between What we say and what we mean I wanted more than you could give I gave you more than you could take Taking us back to the glory days Give me everything, give me poetry Look me in the eyes when you’re making love to me Take me far away, back to where we came To the day when we were standing on the fire escape Baby, just say the word I think we’re gonna make it heard And we forget all the hurt, remember what we were Baby, just say the word I think we’re gonna make it heard And we can forget all the hurt and leave it in the dirt Baby, just say the word I think we’re gonna make it heard And we forget all the hurt, remember what we were Baby, just say the word I think we’re gonna make it heard And we can forget all the hurt and leave it in the dirt Give me everything, give me poetry Look me in the eyes when you’re making love to me Take me far away, back to where we came To the day when we were standing on the fire escape
