Who Would You Be For Me

Coming on ever so strong Coming off ever so weak Coming off ever so wrong Hold me in your arms Hold me in your mind Still as the night Coming up ever so fast Burning off whiskey and weed Coming off ever so deep Rhyming every line Ranting rapid fire Scripting the night We met on the sixth of June, 2-0-0-2 On the southbound subway You said, "What now?" The heat's absurd, the rest went unheard And you already knew my name I sang for you the softest tune on the sixth of June In the park at Tenth and A How's it go, now? The saddest tune on the sixth of June In the park at Tenth and A Growing up ever so slow Come of age ever so late Planning my quiet escape Trying to disappear One day at a time Leaving no sign Putting off getting in line Putting off knowing my place Coming off ever so crazed Ways of stopping time Driving my willpower Still as the night We met on the sixth of June, 2-0-0-2 When I served you attitude And sometimes I'd serve you coffee, too With the overnight crew Before they closed that café I sang for you the softest tune on the sixth of June In the park at Tenth and A How's it go, now? The saddest tune on the sixth of June In the park at Tenth and A The city's been mean to you lately But when will you ever leave? I could be the girl for you But who would you be for me? Be for me
