I'm not afraid to make a mistake
But when you walk away from me like you did
How much do you think I can take
If there's a fly
A fly on the wall
He's getting bugged by the silence
That's inside of our bedroom walls
So you say that you need a change
But I don't know how you expect things to change
When everything is the same
I need a place where I can erase
All the sunshine and the spotless memories
That slept in my brain
And you give and you take
And you give and I take
And every house I look at I imagine how I'd look
Hanging from the bedroom ceiling
Yeah I guess I'll take it
Back when we were higher
Back when we were lighter
Back when we needed the fire
Back when there was something to move for
I'm going back to New York
But I'll call you and I'll write you
Whenever there is news to report
And I know that you feel alone
But I know that you will feel even worse
As soon as I get home
And I give and I take
And I give and you take
And every month I got on a train
And took it down from Los Angeles to San Diego
That's where you'd be waiting
That's where you'd be waiting for me
Back when you sent me letters
Back when you'd do anything for me
Now there's a red light above me.
