Methadone Joan

You found me in the pouring rain Crying out I'm on fire You said come on in And dry off for awhile I tried to throw on all the lights But you only had one bulb It's not what I was craving But it stayed on all night A month or two, caught up in you And restless I became The safety made me Think I wanted out So I waited for the thunderstorm And snuck out the back door Where the lightning struck And broke your trust in me So am I over you No, I don't ever know if I will be But I'd be better off Never letting you get in my bloodstream Am I over you No, I am playing back all the memories And the hurt we caused each other didn't seem to save So Methadone Joan, I hope you know I still need you I woke up a week later Coughed up blood from broken ribs Cried anybody come And get me out of here A medic came and patched me up But she couldn't stop the bleeding She said go Before another storm comes in Well I walked and ran for miles To find out where you now were staying And I'd be damned if you didn't Get a place out on the coast I had to row out to your island The gate was locked, so I climbed the wall But when you saw me coming, you shot me down And I hurt worse than before So am I over you No I don't ever know if I will be But I'd be better off Never letting you get in my bloodstream Am I over you No I am playing back all the memories And the hurt we caused each other didn't seem to save So Methadone Joan, I hope you know I still need you Years went by all on my own And I finally settled down Bought a house down in the darkness So I couldn't chase what I hadn't found It's raining on the ocean now But you won't find me screaming Unless I dream of you Then I wake up with the shakes Because whatever I know of love Is how I've always felt for you But I let fear come blind us both And steal it So if you're coming my way I don't know what control I'll have But I'll always call you over If you're listening So am I over you No I don't ever know if I will be But I'd be better off Never letting you get in my bloodstream Am I over you No I am playing back all the memories And the hurt we caused each other didn't seem to save So Methadone Joan, I hope you know I still need you
