Why'd you take the long way home
I watched you walk slow
past my window
Is that what you did it for
I think it's best
you left me alone
You know I'm bound
to make you cry
From up here
I can see the Carlyle
I can see the Louvre
shining in your eyes
I never meant to
set the world on fire
Just wanted something
you'd remember me by
But now I wish that
I was on the bright side
These friends of mine could
spend the whole night dreaming
While you're holding me tight
under the moonlight
Just you and I
we'll lead a new life singing
La la la
La la la
La la la
La la la
You know I think it says a lot
That I could wake myself up
from this dream
Grab the things that are
most dear to me
And although I could have
loved you better
I had to get the fuck
out of the bed
Cause there's just something
about you my love
Something in the way
you comb your hair
And fall apart at the seams
When you were young
I used to throw you down
You'd show me
how it feels to feel
Oh God I wish that
I was on the bright side
These friends of mine could
spend the whole night dreaming
While you're holding me tight
under the moonlight
Just you and me babe
we'll spend our
whole lives singing
La la la
La la la
La la la
La la la
And look at you
And look at you
And look at you
And look at you
