lyrics

the moon is coming out for us
a witness as she slips away
but no one comes along to take her place
and to the stars in vain i say
i'm afraid i'm going to stay

there's a shop we'd meet on the corner
i've passed 97 times at least
but a desperate situation is better than none
just give me a reason to breathe

<you look rested
you look better
you look all right
since you left me
and i was holding
on for something
what an end for you and me>

(chorus)
tonight you drew a line through me
and made it clear for all to see
tonight i'll take what you will leave
and ride it to obscurity


now you could say it's all for sympathy
the victim as she slides away
or stocking up in vain for a rainy day
well that's for you to say
it's left for me to lead

and i could give at least a million reasons
of why you are the girl and this the scene
and one by one they'll fall away all on their own
just give me something i can need

<you look rested
you look better
you look good
since you left me
and i was hoping
you'd be something
i got right just once to keep>

(chorus)
