When You Were Mine
The armageddon was about to drop
You smiled a tear and the whole mess stopped
A hot tornado swept through our sleepy town
Lifted everyone and everything gently set 'em down
When you were mine
My beloved Harley was stolen out the yard
I was crushed, he was my best friend and fierce comfort
Heartsick weeks later, woke to a tender sound
Harley scratchin' at the door, home unhurt and safe
All was lost then it's found
When you were mine, when you were mine
Coke dealer Paulie from Coney Island
Selling his death to rookie teens, wide-eyed not a line on their faces
Finding trouble in terrible places
Harley was suspicious, took a chunk out Paulie's leg
Got infected, undetected, now Harley pisses on Paulie's grave
Ah sweet justice
When you were mine
I'd dance a crooked line
When you were mine
I fantasize you 10 years down the road
A crinkling 'round your eyes
An ageless soul so lovely and bold
I know someday we'll find each other again
Stop this heartbreakingly, beautiful, awful world
And the rage that descends, into our collective heart
Still I remember the miracles in bloom
When you were mine
When you were mine
Love was always in time
When you were mine
I'd dance a crooked line
When you were mine
Come back baby, out of the fiery dark
While we still got skin and eyes and smell and touch
Oh my dear heart, I still love you that much
When you were mine
It was Heaven on earth...
When you were mine
You smiled a tear and the whole mess stopped
A hot tornado swept through our sleepy town
Lifted everyone and everything gently set 'em down
When you were mine
My beloved Harley was stolen out the yard
I was crushed, he was my best friend and fierce comfort
Heartsick weeks later, woke to a tender sound
Harley scratchin' at the door, home unhurt and safe
All was lost then it's found
When you were mine, when you were mine
Coke dealer Paulie from Coney Island
Selling his death to rookie teens, wide-eyed not a line on their faces
Finding trouble in terrible places
Harley was suspicious, took a chunk out Paulie's leg
Got infected, undetected, now Harley pisses on Paulie's grave
Ah sweet justice
When you were mine
I'd dance a crooked line
When you were mine
I fantasize you 10 years down the road
A crinkling 'round your eyes
An ageless soul so lovely and bold
I know someday we'll find each other again
Stop this heartbreakingly, beautiful, awful world
And the rage that descends, into our collective heart
Still I remember the miracles in bloom
When you were mine
When you were mine
Love was always in time
When you were mine
I'd dance a crooked line
When you were mine
Come back baby, out of the fiery dark
While we still got skin and eyes and smell and touch
Oh my dear heart, I still love you that much
When you were mine
It was Heaven on earth...
When you were mine
