Nothing in Return

woman, lets promise to never be apart
I said woman, I promise I'll give you my heart
and I don't want nothing in return
no I don't want nothing in return
I said so long, to all my friends I lived with in the fall
they said to "fuck off, when you're gone we won't miss you at all"
and I can't help thinking about those words
cause you'll give me nothing in return
but I guess I'm never gonna love, if I'm never gonna hurt

run run run to the wedding reception, arriving with my shaky head
I got a picture with the bride and a tie to hang around my neck
everyone was talking but nobody was dancing, wasting all the money spent
I twirled around by myself, I sipped my flask into the song I went

hold out both your hands and show me what you have
because it won't last, once its gone it's never coming back
and I don't want nothing in return
no I don't want nothing

run run run to the dock where they're leaving, sparkelers in every hand
they entered a canoe and then they paddled to the other end
headed back now to a big television, wondering how longs its been
cause I loved her from the start, and I loved her everywhere I went
everywhere I went

I got a phone call from another town, but you said you don't belong in the underground
I said it won't be long it's just a turn around I'm trying to get me on my feet
the last things gone were the trees, they faded into towers above the streets
the poles on the sides had no leaves, just the wires where you talk to me

it's through the wires
it's through the wires
it's through the wires where you talk to me
