You think you know me just because you know my nameYou think you see me 'cause you've seen every line on my faceYou want to want me just because I say that I want youBut does it matter if anything I'm saying is the truthYou need somebody, somebody to hold on toBut this ain't the movies and we ain't heroes
Chorus:Staring at your window with a suitcase in my handThe streetlights buzz as the cars roll by and the moon don't give a damnMy boots just keep on walkin', but my heart don't understandWhy I'm staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
I said I want you, but when we woke up one of us was cryingYou rolled over and all you said was -"Man, I think I'm dying"Our song is over, this band of gold has been feeling like a nooseYou place your bets, 'cause no one thinks they'll lose
Chorus
The light of love can blind you 'til you cover up your eyesAnd you try to find the reason not to say good-byeIt's the curse of every sailor standing on dry landStaring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
The night is fading, like my old tattooA heart and a dagger, that says "Forever"
Chorus:Staring at your window with a suitcase in my handThe streetlights buzz as the cars roll by and the moon don't give a damnI'm getting tired of talkin', even I don't understandWhy I'm staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
