You think you know me just because you know my name You think you see me 'cause you've seen every line on my face You want to want me just because I say that I want you But does it matter if anything I'm saying is the truth
You need somebody, somebody to hold onto But this ain't the movies, and we ain't heroes
Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand The streetlights buzz as the cars roll by and the moon don't give a damn My boots just keep on walkin', but a heart don't understand Why I'm staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
I said that I want you, but when we woke up one of us was crying You rolled over and all you said was, "Man, I think I'm dying" Our song is over, this band of gold has been feeling like a noose You place your bets 'cause no one thinks they'll lose
Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand The streetlights buzz as the cars roll by and the moon don't give a damn My boots just keep on walkin', but my heart don't understand Why I'm staring at your window
The light of love can blind you 'til you cover up your eyes And you try to find the reason not to say good bye It's the curse of every sailor standing on dry land Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
[Guitar solo]
The night is fading like my old tattoo A heart and a dagger that says "Forever"
Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand The streetlights buzz as the cars roll by and the moon don't give a damn I'm getting tired of talkin', even I don't understand Why I'm staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
