Jessie’s House

Get out of bed with a sensitive step
He's making the coffee
I lean out the edge of the 7th floor window
The first cigarette hits me different
The pavement below me is wet
Did it just stop raining or did I forget that the snow
The snow has melted

And maybe the sunshine is a little too bright
Maybe I stayed up a little to late last night
Know that we're in for one hell of a fight
But I'll bend over backwards to make it alright
To make it alright

We go back to Jessie's house
We watch the dust specs dance in the projector light
We leave the radio on and fuck all night
Waiting for the song we heard this morning
We go back to before when
I was not your lover and not your friend
I didn't say that the snowy weather wasn't gonna end
You didn't say what you wanted
You want to be alone

Remember you said that you'd love me to death
Blew out the candles and calmly collected my tears on your fingers
Their slow silhouette somehow stays there in my mind too close to forget
And did I not dream you were happier then or was I?
Has it ended?

Cause maybe I came on a little too strong
Maybe I was a replacement for her all along
It's not your place to say I do or don't belong
But I'll keep on trying to please you if you just let me
Won't you let?

We go back to Jessie's house
We watch the dust specs dance in the projector light
We leave the radio on and fuck all night
Waiting for the song we heard this morning
We go back to before when
I was not your lover and not your friend
I didn't say that the snowy weather wasn't gonna end
You didn't say what you wanted
You want to be alone
You want to be alone
