San Francisco Sunset

There are so many ways to keep up, it's hard to keep up
You can call from a hotel phone, if you can't from home
I've got magnetic hypotheticals, but you say they're unacceptable
And you move to medical land

What do you not want to do?
I think you know what you're putting me through
But then, over again
I think I see what you were trying to do
If you'd have said it, I'd have gone for it, too
But no - You said you loved my soul

Forgive, forget - Oh sure, you bet
I'll go back home and pretend I wasn't close to the City of Angels
But don't get upset with your San Francisco sunset

Never say forever or only ever again
Speak no truth you won't pursue
Do what you want - Oh, give me a shot
Say "I was wrong" - Don't lead me along
Then go where no one else has to know

I think you know what I was trying to do
I know you knew what that required of you
You had to return the one that was past due
I know you thought about it every night
I hope you knew that you had every right
To decide to try to change your life

Or to just say "No, I wanna go back home"
But then tell me so, 'cause I'm under your control
But not on my knees - No struggle to breathe
But it's kinda starting to get harder

To forgive, forget - Oh sure, you bet
I'll go back home and pretend I wasn't close to the City of Angels
But don't get upset with your San Francisco sunset
