Went Looking For Trouble
You are not fucking around anymore
You just don't have the energy
And you say, "Get up off your bended knee
Grow up"
The rain is falling, and it chases us like a rapist
Into the basement of your parent's house
Where I will sit down, quiet as a mouse
And watch you eat yourself alive
But I meant you no harm, at the start
Still working on your short story
Like Simon's human trampoline
You're wearing all of New York City's complaints
Still naked underneath our clothes
Still smoking out of fire escape windows
I know it is too much to ask you to ever change
On a towel, staring at the ocean
I was late, you were right on time
It wasn't fair, but it never really could have been
A fair fight
Lover's prayer, please just let me stay here
What on earth is wrong me?
I need a girl, don't send me a woman
Answer me
And at night, when the walls disintegrate
I changed my mind, never mind, think I'll stay
How could I know, could I know, could I know
Could I know, could I know, could I know, could I know
Could I know?
Lover's prayer, simple to remember
I was wrong, you were right
Are we free or merely just pretending to be alive
Ah, let's go home, I've seen all I want
The chemicals on the balcony
We took enough to make anybody turn blue
It's time to leave
And when you walked in on me naked and dumb
I was too bored to imagine much love
How could I know, could I know, could I know
Could I know, could I know, could I know, could I know
Could I know, could I know, could I know, could I know
Could I know?
You just don't have the energy
And you say, "Get up off your bended knee
Grow up"
The rain is falling, and it chases us like a rapist
Into the basement of your parent's house
Where I will sit down, quiet as a mouse
And watch you eat yourself alive
But I meant you no harm, at the start
Still working on your short story
Like Simon's human trampoline
You're wearing all of New York City's complaints
Still naked underneath our clothes
Still smoking out of fire escape windows
I know it is too much to ask you to ever change
On a towel, staring at the ocean
I was late, you were right on time
It wasn't fair, but it never really could have been
A fair fight
Lover's prayer, please just let me stay here
What on earth is wrong me?
I need a girl, don't send me a woman
Answer me
And at night, when the walls disintegrate
I changed my mind, never mind, think I'll stay
How could I know, could I know, could I know
Could I know, could I know, could I know, could I know
Could I know?
Lover's prayer, simple to remember
I was wrong, you were right
Are we free or merely just pretending to be alive
Ah, let's go home, I've seen all I want

And when you walked in on me naked and dumb
I was too bored to imagine much love
How could I know, could I know, could I know
Could I know, could I know, could I know, could I know
Could I know, could I know, could I know, could I know
Could I know?
