Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You think you know me just because you know my name
You think you see me 'cause you've seen every line on my face
You want to want me just because I say that I want you
Does it matter if anything I'm sayin' is the truth?
[Verse 2]
You need somebody, somebody to hold onto
But this ain't the movies and we ain't heroes
[Verse 3]
Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
The streetlights buzz as the cars roll by and the moon don't give a damn
My boots just keep on walkin' but a heart don't understand
Why I'm staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
[Verse 4]
I said that I want you but when we woke up one of us was cryin'
You rolled over and all you said was, man, I think I'm dyin'
Our song is over, this band of gold has been feelin' like a noose
You place your bets 'cause no one thinks they'll lose
[Verse 5]
Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
The streetlights buzz as the cars roll by and the moon don't give a damn
My boots just keep on walkin' but a heart don't understand
Why I'm staring at your window
[Verse 6]
The light of love can blind you till you cover eyes
And you try to find the reason not to say goodbye
It's the curse of every sailor standin' on dry land
Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
[Verse 7]
The night is fadin' like my old tattoo
A heart and a dagger that says forever
[Verse 8]
Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
The streetlights buzz as the cars roll by and the moon don't give a damn
I'm gettin' tired of talkin', even I don't understand
Why I'm staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
