Who Would You Be For Me
Coming on ever so strong
Coming off ever so weak
Coming off ever so wrong
Hold me in your arms
Hold me in your mind
Still as the night
Coming up ever so fast
Burning off whiskey and weed
Coming off ever so deep
Rhyming every line
Ranting rapid fire
Scripting the night
We met on the sixth of June, 2-0-0-2
On the southbound subway
You said, "What now?"
The heat's absurd, the rest went unheard
And you already knew my name
I sang for you the softest tune on the sixth of June
In the park at Tenth and A
How's it go, now?
The saddest tune on the sixth of June
In the park at Tenth and A
Growing up ever so slow
Come of age ever so late
Planning my quiet escape
Trying to disappear
One day at a time
Leaving no sign
Putting off getting in line
Putting off knowing my place
Coming off ever so crazed
Ways of stopping time
Driving my willpower
Still as the night
We met on the sixth of June, 2-0-0-2
When I served you attitude
And sometimes I'd serve you coffee, too
With the overnight crew
Before they closed that café
I sang for you the softest tune on the sixth of June
In the park at Tenth and A
How's it go, now?
The saddest tune on the sixth of June
In the park at Tenth and A
The city's been mean to you lately
But when will you ever leave?
I could be the girl for you
But who would you be for me?
Be for me
Coming off ever so weak
Coming off ever so wrong
Hold me in your arms
Hold me in your mind
Still as the night
Coming up ever so fast
Burning off whiskey and weed
Coming off ever so deep
Rhyming every line
Ranting rapid fire
Scripting the night
We met on the sixth of June, 2-0-0-2
On the southbound subway
You said, "What now?"
The heat's absurd, the rest went unheard
And you already knew my name
I sang for you the softest tune on the sixth of June
In the park at Tenth and A
How's it go, now?
The saddest tune on the sixth of June
In the park at Tenth and A
Growing up ever so slow
Come of age ever so late
Planning my quiet escape
Trying to disappear
One day at a time
Leaving no sign
Putting off getting in line
Putting off knowing my place
Coming off ever so crazed
Ways of stopping time
Driving my willpower
Still as the night
We met on the sixth of June, 2-0-0-2
When I served you attitude
And sometimes I'd serve you coffee, too
With the overnight crew
Before they closed that café
I sang for you the softest tune on the sixth of June
In the park at Tenth and A
How's it go, now?
The saddest tune on the sixth of June
In the park at Tenth and A
The city's been mean to you lately
But when will you ever leave?
I could be the girl for you
But who would you be for me?
Be for me
