Oh inner city streets Where i sleep I watched her take this romance Home to me Oh I believe in something more I watched her heart Through bathroom room doors It's true Eyes that are older than you Oh echoes in the heart When we meet I chose to take this moment To tell you I'm leaving Oh I believe in something more I watched her heart Through bathroom doors It's true Eyes that are older than you Watch her count it up on one hand Like lovers and ocean and land And it keeps on going Over and over and over again
