Living like a crook in parking lots
Trying to get my thoughts into jars
Labeled A through Z 
for a systematic analysis
And we are two vagrants
on a train through the midwest
And I'm connected to you
By tendons, bones, and veins
What a mess

It's getting colder now 
and your soft red sweater
calls my name out loud
It's not over 'til it's over
and I can't go through with it

You never knew
for the longest time
you were on my mind
And I'm finally through
wasting all your time

God it's been rough these past few weeks
My room is a mess and the ceiling leaks
I shouldn't have dragged you into this
Doomed love affair

Fluorescent shopping malls at night
and I missed your 3AM phone calls
Since you left I left broken glass 
on the floor and I cut myself

And blood just knows 
how to get through 
the veins to the heart
And so it goes
It all seemed preordained 
from the start

Life disappears in the wind like smoke
My room is a mess and the mirror broke
I shouldn't have dragged you into this
Doomed love affair
