Catch my breath and hold it for me I'm wasting my time, tryna make up my mind Oh, I'm sitting here as the chandelier is whispering in my ear Saying, "Can I get a cigarette?" I know you'll never be mine Can you come around tonight And sing me a lullaby? Just take my heart and break it Can you come around tonight? I might be the enemy But nothing quite hits like you
Come on, take this pen and write for me Oh, write me a song and I'll try to forget it Oh, I'm standing there as the man upstairs Comes crashing through the ceiling Saying, "Where's my fucking cigarette?" With fire in his eyes Can you come around tonight And sing me a lullaby? Just take my heart and break it Can you come around tonight? I might be the enemy But nothing quite hits like you And as on my patience, starts to dry And my feeling skids across the sand They'll know that you've won And I run back to where I came from
