Well I came here to stay,
But you said “just one more day.”
Well I tried so hard to please.
And if it takes time,
I’ll make it plain, I’m yours.
You can’t evade, I’ll
Make it plaing, I’m yours.

Well we lived beyond our means,
Lived through times when times were lean.
As the greens did fade to grays,
Well I thought it was a day.
I’ve only been true,
I want to know you’re mine.
How do people find love,
When this city binds us so?

If you peel back every word,
Make a deal with death and her,
It’s not half the weight it seems,
To be tethered by a ring.
I’ve only been true,
I want to know you’re mine.
How do people find love,
When this city binds us so?
And you say it’s up to me.
