Rome Video (MV)

I've got patience and I've got the time
I've got this body and these hands of mine
While you got your fingers and you got the wine
And you got me wrapped all about your spine

Oh Rome, you're a liar and a whore
Though you swear you're so much more
And desire devours devotion in the safety of your streets
And it's so hard to die in Spring, you know
It's so hard to die in Spring
I know we all must die some time but
It's so hard to die in Spring

So take me home, I'm on my own
Take me home, before I'm gone

These curtains are drunk with smoke
And these walls are telling jokes
And none of them are particularly funny
But we have to be polite and laugh

And I hope someone took pictures of us
So we'll always know we're real
And this week my friend let's crash and burn
And we'll see how well we feel

Seven days, oh seven days, we need nothing more than that
Build me up and I'll tear this down as quickly as I can

So take me home, I'm on my own
Take me home, before I'm gone
Take me to your room I've got nothing to do
Take me to your room I've got nothing to do
Take me to your room I've got nothing to do
Take me to your room I've got nothing to do

You be the needle and I'll give you the thread
Let's stitch our names right below our necks
Let's see who flinches first
Let's see who's hurting worse

Meanwhile, I wonder if you were right back then
And maybe drinking's made you pure in the end
As you said it's not a problem, it's a choice
And I heard you choke down the anger in your voice

And maybe there's still some luck coming off our skins
But I don't really think I'll make it through this Spring
And Rome, oh Rome, they've built you a throne
But I'll do you one better and leave you my bones

So take me home, I'm on my own
Take me home, before I'm gone
So take me home, I'm on my own
Take me home, before I'm gone
Take me to your room I've got nothing to do
Take me to your room I've got nothing to do
Take me to your room I've got nothing to do
Take me to your room I've got nothing to do
Take me to your room I've got nothing to do
Take me to your room I've got nothing to do
Take me to your room I've got nothing to do
Take me to your room I've got nothing to do
