Washington Square
We were racing to Washington Square
I could be the one or the one to drive, get us there on time
I remember what you said to me, cigarettes and Listerine
On the bus back into the city, you'll know when I mean it
Back when all the things to come, hadn't yet
We were two kids, broke, stupid, stumbling around in the dark
And I could be the one, I could be the future
I could try to take the shape
I remember what you said to me, licorice and wintergreen
Like a goddamn ghost of your mother, I know what you needed
Back when all the things to come, hadn't yet
Back when all that I had done didn't seem so bad, back then
And everything you wanted could be easy if you let it
When you're trying to get even, when you're trying to get better
Everything you wanted could be easy if you let me in
When you're trying to get even, and you're trying to get better
Everything you wanted could be easy if you let me in
When you're trying to get even, when you're trying to get better
(Back when all the things to come) everything you wanted could be easy if you let me in
(Back when all the things to come) when you're trying to get even
When you're trying to get better (hadn't yet)
(Back when all the things to come) everything you wanted could be easy if you let me in
(Back when all the things to come) when you're trying to get even
When you're trying to get better (hadn't yet)
(Back when all the things to come, hadn't yet)
I could be the one or the one to drive, get us there on time
I remember what you said to me, cigarettes and Listerine
On the bus back into the city, you'll know when I mean it
Back when all the things to come, hadn't yet
We were two kids, broke, stupid, stumbling around in the dark
And I could be the one, I could be the future
I could try to take the shape
I remember what you said to me, licorice and wintergreen
Like a goddamn ghost of your mother, I know what you needed
Back when all the things to come, hadn't yet
Back when all that I had done didn't seem so bad, back then
And everything you wanted could be easy if you let it
When you're trying to get even, when you're trying to get better
Everything you wanted could be easy if you let me in
When you're trying to get even, and you're trying to get better
Everything you wanted could be easy if you let me in
When you're trying to get even, when you're trying to get better
(Back when all the things to come) everything you wanted could be easy if you let me in
(Back when all the things to come) when you're trying to get even
When you're trying to get better (hadn't yet)
(Back when all the things to come) everything you wanted could be easy if you let me in
(Back when all the things to come) when you're trying to get even
When you're trying to get better (hadn't yet)
(Back when all the things to come, hadn't yet)
