Impossible
[Verse 1]
Fell asleep at 23
Trouble came and trouble stayed
Took up with a split-lipped kid
Who read Genet but fell away
[Pre-Chorus]
And we can take two like we used to
And you can hit me if you think it'll help
But it's impossible to see you
When it's impossible to tell
[Chorus]
If I love you
When you treat me like you do
And I know you're impossible
Say I'm impossible too
[Verse 2]
I've forgotten the names of the pale-faced saints
Hanging on your bedroom wall
But I remember the blue of your homemade tattoo
Said "all apart and no fall"
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I'm checking myself in the passenger mirror
And it's clear that I'm not a kid
But I still want to dance and I still want to fight
And I still wear your scarf and you still pull it tight
[Chorus]
'Cause I love you
When you treat me like you do
And I know you're impossible
Say I'm impossible too
[Bridge]
I try so hard to be like you, you just laugh and send me away
When I think I'll never see you again, you come and stay
I know it makes no difference crying, though I do
When I know you're impossible
Say I'm impossible too
[Outro]
(Impossible)
(Impossible)
Impossible too
(Impossible)
Impossible too
(Impossible)
