I could feel it when you walked in
The rush of midnight skin on skin
Fresh dirt on your bare feet
Running down a dark street
Fighting in July heat
Neighbors listening
A lover on a front porch
The clap of a screen door
Hands reaching out for more
I can't get over you
That's what a better me would do
But I see shadows in the moonlight
Stars in your brown eyes
Stayin' up all night
Neighbors listening
Your cocaine off a gold key
Rolling like the deep sea
Not recognizing the brevity, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I could start a war
Asking God for one more
Long kiss in a corner
Spring in California
Running for the border
Neighbors listening
Lightnin' in the night wind
The scene of that goodbye again
Never let the words roll off my lips
I've been stumbling out of dark bars
Cryin' in parked cars
Dyin' of a broken heart
Everyone listening
Your cocaine off a gold key
Rolling like the deep sea
Not recognizing the brevity, yeah
And I'll let go and I'll let go and I'll let go
And I'll let go and I'll let go and I'll let go
I'll let go
I can't get over you
That's what a better me would do
