Towns and Cities

Call out your name, you turned away
Couldn’t bear to look at the mess we’d made
If I had it my way, you’d be the queen of the rat race
Through [?] and we’d spend our days
Floating around like some ghost over towns
And cities we promised to visit
And then I would say, “When you’re away
Forty yards ‘cross the bay do you miss it?”

And if I could, I’d disappear
And I’d sit back and watch you be happy
With somebody else, maybe someone
Like the person that I used to be
And you could go out without worrying about if
I’m painted in red or just sleeping
And you’d be okay, sit around bar stools
And laugh until you forget my name

And I wish you could see me the way that I see me
You’d probably hate me too
Oh if you could see me the way that I see me
Then you’d understand why I feel like I do

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
