Matthew Good Band As Long As Your Mine
the night it was lazy the streets were all crowded
i walked through the door at the top of stairs
she looked like a girl from a renaissance painting
with clouds in her eyes and leaves in her hair
i said without warning you know i've been waiting
she said i don't even know you so i doubt that that's true
and i laughed at the wall as she stared at the ceiling
you know i'm not so lonely and now neither are you
and i don't really care, no i don't really mind
no i don't really care, as long as your mine
She made me talk slowly and walked out the room
went down the hallway and out through the gate
she followed me strangely into the moonlight
and she spoke words of anger as if i were late
I slipped past her guards and into her chamber
i said i'm all out a roses but my thorns aren't so fear
and she moved like the ocean away from mine
and she said you know i'm not so lonely so how come you're still here?
and i don't really care, no i don't really mind
said i don't really care, as long as your mine
She mocked my good nature and pulled on my coat tails
she lifted me and then dropped me like a stone
she said you know love is just like riding a bicycle
and riding a bicycles just another way to get thrown
I tuned to her laugher let her words linger
I slipped through her weak spot and watched as a cheer
Turned from a victory into a master
I said if your not so lonely then how come,
how come your still here
said i don't really care, no i don't really mind
no i don't really care, as long as your mine
the morning was lazy the streets were all empty
I looked out the window and winked at the sky
She talked to me slowly even though she was sleeping
so i picked out the good things and let the rest die
She said without warning you know i was waiting
so i said that i told her that sometimes it's true
and i laughed at the window as she threw her pillow
You know i'm not so lonely and now neither are you
And i don't really care, no i don't really mind
no i don't really care, as long as your mine
no i don't really care, no i don't really mind
no i don't really care, as long as your mine.
