Shaking Like a Leaf on the Corner of Life

Last night I dreamt I kissed you

and just like in real life you pulled away.

I guess I'm just not good enough

and Gladys said I'm too much of a man for you,

but she's too much of a woman for me.

But I know if I were him,

we wouldn't just be friends.

I guess sometimes I just wish I were him.

so tell me pretty baby,

did you lay with me those nights

because you were lonely

or did you get back at him?

Was my bed as warm as his?

Did I suffice?

Was I able to keep you to the lifestyle

you're accustomed to?

Cause now that you're gone I toss and turn...

but I guess that's what I deserve.

You said I wasn't like the rest,

but you treated me like the rest.

Like those that came before you.

So say you're my friend and bow out gracefully.

Tomorrow I'll wake up to my cold sheets

with the smell of Los Angeles on my skin,

and you'll wake up in international waters

wearing is sweater.

But when he's gone and the smell of nicotine stains your skin

I hope you remember those warm summer nights

I threw myself at you.

The Nights we sang...

"We're loyal, like brothers

just us versus all the others.

You're the one for, you're the one for me."
