She said, "there are things about you i don't really understand"
I am drinking in the afternoon
Got whiskey on my breath
And as i walk through greenwich village
With a suitcase full of clothes
I am blinded by the afternoon and unsure where to go
Yes i'm blinded by the afternoon and unsure where to go
Will you come for me on days like this when i am broken down?
'cause i've been strangled by an emptiness that's still choking me now
I have prayed for absolution that won't ever come around
So if you love me
Won't you please forgive me now?
Then i try to call my mother
But she's not around to talk
So i wander through the fading day
Oblivious and lost
Yes i know i'm getting older
Chasing time that slips away
Point my headlights towards the interstate
It's time for my escape
Point my headlights towards the interstate
It's time for my escape
I am sorry for the things i've done
Don't try to let you down
In my dreams at night i hear your voice
And i'm shaken by the sound
Now i'm stranded in los angeles and you're all i think about
So if you love me
Won't you please forgive me now?
I hope there's a million stars above you
And everything you need
I hope it finds you
Every breath you breathe
Hope it comes easy
I hope it's easy
I've got a picture in my wallet of a girl i used to know
And another of my family
It's been too long since i've been home
Now i'm waiting on a train
Where i'll end up, god only knows
Maybe i'll make my way back to her
But i guess i probably won't
Maybe i'll make my way back to her
But i guess i probably won't
You are somewhere far away from me
I'm here all by myself
Through the space between the two of us
Wish i had something else
'cause i'd surrender up most anything if i thought it'd help somehow
So if you love me
Won't you please forgive me now?
If you love me
Won't you please forgive me now?
