lyrics

At the Airbnb cage
I walked up the worn out corridors
After greeting Dean babe
I saw the leather jacket that you wore
First a handshake
Then you re-tuned the guild that I had brought
You asked me for a first date
Alongside the dust that blew in from New York
Yeah that was me babe
The one that you were not looking for
Cause I had a grief ache
Like never before

And I was still stuck in the east part of town
Where I couldn’t move while she was still around

But I got your beat babe
The beat of your parlour body parts
Racing with my heart rate
French kissing in the old jazz bar
I snoozed all your alarms babe
But I could no longer tame the dog that barked
You kicked me in your sleep babe
While you tried to tame your wild card
That was you babe
The one that I wasn’t looking for
Cause I needed a heartbreak
Until you stripped me to the core

And I was still stuck in the ghost part of town
The timing just doesn’t fit the sound

You caught me out on the street babe
Out there where I was the one I was looking for
But I couldn’t see straight
But I did catch that cute red rain-dress that you wore
And in your diaries babe
Well I know that I never wanted more
I now know what it means babe
To be too fearful to adore
This is me babe
Well just a coward keeping score
Of what’s to be gained
When you fall short of wanting more

And I was still stuck in the centre of your town
Trying to move on, meanwhile longing to be found

I slowly turned down my red light
Because the tourists in this goddamn town
They don’t know how to hug me tight
Though they were all still officially allowed
Well I had my warm socks
But my white kimono is still being rented out
Oh it’s so funny how a promise of possession
It can kill the daunting doubt

Oh I’m stuck in the west part of town
Where being free, is now called settling down

If I’ll be at your release date
Would you still single me out
Amongst all your many men in leather jackets
Fighting for the front row seat in your crowd
Well could it still be me babe
Am I still worth looking for
Or is it now too late
To call you up when i’m standing at the door
Well if it ain’t me babe
I’ll go away from your window pane
If the mental hospital one day find us stuck together
We know we did not go insane
Babe...
