You found me in the pouring rain
Crying out I'm on fire
You said come on in
And dry off for awhile
I tried to throw on all the lights
But you only had one bulb
It's not what I was craving
But it stayed on all night
A month or two, caught up in you
And restless I became
The safety made me
Think I wanted out
So I waited for the thunderstorm
And snuck out the back door
Where the lightning struck
And broke your trust in me
So am I over you
No, I don't ever know if I will be
But I'd be better off
Never letting you get in my bloodstream
Am I over you
No, I am playing back all the memories
And the hurt we caused each other didn't seem to save
So Methadone Joan, I hope you know
I still need you
I woke up a week later
Coughed up blood from broken ribs
Cried anybody come
And get me out of here
A medic came and patched me up
But she couldn't stop the bleeding
She said go
Before another storm comes in
Well I walked and ran for miles
To find out where you now were staying
And I'd be damned if you didn't
Get a place out on the coast
I had to row out to your island
The gate was locked, so I climbed the wall
But when you saw me coming, you shot me down
And I hurt worse than before
So am I over you
No I don't ever know if I will be
But I'd be better off
Never letting you get in my bloodstream
Am I over you
No I am playing back all the memories
And the hurt we caused each other didn't seem to save
So Methadone Joan, I hope you know
I still need you
Years went by all on my own
And I finally settled down
Bought a house down in the darkness
So I couldn't chase what I hadn't found
It's raining on the ocean now
But you won't find me screaming
Unless I dream of you
Then I wake up with the shakes
Because whatever I know of love
Is how I've always felt for you
But I let fear come blind us both
And steal it
So if you're coming my way
I don't know what control I'll have
But I'll always call you over
If you're listening
So am I over you
No I don't ever know if I will be
But I'd be better off
Never letting you get in my bloodstream
Am I over you
No I am playing back all the memories
And the hurt we caused each other didn't seem to save
So Methadone Joan, I hope you know
I still need you
