12 Desperate Straight Lines

I was young and,
You were older.
We had some fun times,
Sooner or later.

I could have told ya' you were the one and,
I fell fast and, you fell faster.

It wasn't true love,
Just like that,
It was a disaster.
Now you're on the run!

I remember, we were driving.
It was a warm day,
I can bet you can't remember
The things I tried to say.

Just last week I brushed your shoulder,
On the busy street,
It's no wonder you didn't even blink.
Oh, what a dirty thing.

Sometimes I wonder what I've become.
Sometimes I wonder, and I think I'm gonna have no fun,
Since I saw her.

Sometimes I wonder what I've become.
Sometimes I wonder, and I think about where you are,
Since I saw her.

I'm not gonna let you down,
But I'm not gonna help you up
It takes so long to turn me around,
When I think nothing could be wrong
And then you can't hear me and I can't hear you,
And then you wander downtown 'bout a quarter to two,
Well with your head held low and not a thing to do you,
Gotta give me some time with those one's and two's
Oh-Oh!

You're like a puzzle that can't be solved,
Missing pieces never fill the gaps...
You got the salt and I got the wound,
But, all you gotta do is ask...
And there's a glint in your eye, you curl your lip
Now when you go to shut the door
And I can't see shit
And when you start I can't stop,
Nothing for me to grip
And when i try to get away,
You always give me the slip
Oh-Oh!
