I know what shirt you were wearing when I first bared your bones And in the light of the television, you were my own Did you think I would stay? Did you think I would go? I was the one to make you aware of the things you ought to know I was still waiting for the daylight when you appeared And when I'd wrap my arms around you I wasn't scared I know just what I was drinking when I first was untrue Sea air, cheap beer, and some loneliness all mixed with curacao blue Did I think it would stay? What happens there doesn't go She was the one to make me aware of the things I ought to know It was a mistake that caused your heartache I was just a kid, you should have seen yourself We were so young, but oh so serious And I understand exactly why I fell: I didn't really want you or myself
