Woman, lets promise to never be apart I said woman, I promise I'll give you my heart And I don't want nothing in return No I don't want nothing in return I said so long, to all my friends I lived with in the fall They said to "fuck off, when you're gone we won't miss you at all" And I can't help thinking about those words Cause you'll give me nothing in return But I guess I'm never gonna love, if I'm never gonna hurt Run run run to the wedding reception, arriving with my shaky head I got a picture with the bride and a tie to hang around my neck Everyone was talking but nobody was dancing, wasting all the money spent I twirled around by myself, I sipped my flask into the song I went Hold out both your hands and show me what you have Because it won't last, once its gone it's never coming back And I don't want nothing in return No I don't want nothing Run run run to the dock where they're leaving, sparkelers in every hand They entered a canoe and then they paddled to the other end Headed back now to a big television, wondering how longs its been Cause I loved her from the start, and I loved her everywhere I went Everywhere I went I got a phone call from another town, but you said you don't belong in the underground I said it won't be long it's just a turn around I'm trying to get me on my feet The last things gone were the trees, they faded into towers above the streets The poles on the sides had no leaves, just the wires where you talk to me It's through the wires It's through the wires It's through the wires where you talk to me
