Twenty-Two

Under the nightmares
Lay a wandering ghost
This house isn't haunted
I'm lonelier than most

Sat in a darkened room
At twenty-two
What could I do
Just a traveler passing through
And you, you were my muse

Scattered in Norway
On a far away coast
Her breath was like springtime
For a moment I fell

Down to my knees
Oh, what's come over me
If hearts could speak
I'd tell you everything
If you, you wanted me

If bleeding hearts could speak
And everything you wanted wasn't fantasy
Would you come with me

If fairy tales and God himself came alive
In Times Square on New Year's Eve
Would you stay with me

I'm not a doctor
I'm just a hopeless case
Drunk on fantasy
Would you come with me

I'm just a loser
Trying to find my way
Through eternity
Would you stay with me

At the first snowfall
I huddled alone
Almanac shortfalls
The weatherman's stoned

She said, "We'll make it through
Our love is true
I promise you"
Then I woke up in a sweat alone
Without you

If bleeding hearts could speak
And everything you wanted wasn't fantasy
Would you come with me

If fairy tales and God herself came alive
In Times Square on New Year's Eve
Would you stay with me

I'm not a doctor
I'm just a hopeless case
Drunk on fantasy
Would you come with me?

I'm just a loser
Trying to find my way
Through eternity
Would you stay with me

I've got a lot of regrets
I'm a dollar short of a suicide pact
You're pretty tough to impress
But one day I'll prove
What you stood to lose

If bleeding hearts could speak
And everything you wanted wasn't fantasy
Would you come with me

If fairy tales and God himself came alive
In Times Square on New Year's Eve
Would you stay with me?

I'm not a doctor
I'm just a hopeless case
Drunk on fantasy
Would you come with me

I'm just a loser
Trying to find my way
Through eternity
Would you stay with me

I'm not a doctor
Would you stay with me
Oh, oh
I'm just a loser
Oh, would you stay with me
