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

Maybe the sunshine’s 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 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 than 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 my place to say I do or don’t belong but I’ll Keep on trying to please you if you just let me

If you let me

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
