You're the only thing I miss from the days before the fire
As I walk upon the wire, you're in my footsteps
Well, the angel on my shoulder said, "Boy, wait until you're older."
I wish that I'd known then he was a liar
That summer many years ago, we stopped in Couer d'Alene
Prettiest place I've ever seen. Do you remember?
Love's a game I never win although I try and try again
But heaven must be lust at seventeen
I wish that I could crawl inside your heart and look around
Would I weep at what I found? Did you ever love me?
Well, the devil in my mind, he keeps me hungry all the time
And one heart beating's such a lonely sound
I know that we're just animals that one day soon will die
And when I curse up at the sky that no one hears me
The only truth I've ever known was in the moonlight water on your skin
And I'd rather live for nothing than a lie
