She owns my heart, but I won't know Until I'm gone like an idea Something so real it gets you laughing And just leaves you standing there alone Saying the work will change and soon I'll stay And through the smile she says she'll be here But you know that it ain't that easy No, you know you can't do what you're saying No, it will all remain and always be the same way
So he wakes up at 6 in the morning Brushes his teeth and leaves To drive himself to San Francisco Thinking how he can't handle all these feelings that she brings And how it's worse still when you're lonely And can't feel anything, but how you can't seem to be happy Unless you're making some poor girl feel the same But I don't wanna be that way So If you're gonna leave me, baby, I won't say anything
Now that the winters almost over Maybe I'll go home back to Brooklyn To see some friends there in the spring time And call you up to say: I'm home Let me come and bring you flowers And go get dinner and tell you stories But she'll say: No, can't you see what you're doing? How can you make me have to go through that again? Just because you're here now don't mean that you've changed Because you always will remain And always will be the same way
