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
