Chinatown

Looking at a picture of you in Chinatown
Getting dizzy standing up for you when you're around
Thought I liked you, I was busy biting my nails

Everyone's a prophet when they don't know what to say
Hard to remember your coat's checked at the end of the day
And if I told you I loved you, would you take it the wrong way?

Come down and visit with me
I'm lying dead on my knees
Do you feel restless when you realize you're alive?

Looking back on November, you could paint me any way
I'm still looking for sureness in the way I say my name
I am nervous for tomorrow and today

Cut my hair when I'm feeling like I don't have a place
And the mirror's reflection pushes me further away
If I loved myself, would I take it the wrong way?

Come down and visit with me
I'm lying dead on my knees
Do you feel restless when you realize you're alive?
