lyrics
STILL HERE
Three E trains have zoomed on through, will there ever be another C?
You come and go so often, will there ever be another me?
If I dove to the depths of the sea, let the waves on rumble through
Later on, on the shore, my friend, they'd find pieces of you
You're in my blood, you're in my mind
Just like lady nostalgia, you always get left behind
And your scent lingers on when you disappear
Even though you've gone, you're still here
And once we've reconciled and we've re-honeymooned
You mosey on through the last exit wound
Are you afraid to love me and wear your heart on your sleeve?
And is the one thing that draws you in, the same thing that makes you leave?
Your lipstick is stained on my coffee cup
You're halfway down the block before I even wake up
Yes, and after you've left, I look in the mirror
Yes and even though you've gone, you're still here
It's a shame when you leave
I don't know anymore
When you walk out (of) the room
You don't bother closing the door
You're in my blood, you're in my mind
Just like lady nostalgia, you always get left behind
And the barkeep just shrugs when I ask for another beer
He says, “She'll never come”
I say, “No, she's always been here”
When the world gets too tough and underneath your skin
Nothing feels as good as some place you've been
When the mornings are so empty and the afternoons grow so slow
Nothing feels as good as something you don't know
