That night you said to me
That all I'd ever do
Is compulsively
Obsess over you
I was in too deep
But I had no clue
I was naive i failed to read between the lines
And I say to her
I will be your dark horse
And you will be my black swan
Hanging out in a parking lot
We'll keep each other warm
When she calls up
She knows that I'll cave in
Get right in the car
And turn the ignition
I hear the engine roar
I feel the motor purr
I feel her coursing through my wretched crooked veins
Go back to sleep my love
We'll sail away together
Cuz only in dreams my dear
Will you be mine forever
And I swear to her
I will be your dark horse
And you will be my black swan
With your hands inside my pockets
We'll keep each other warm
I will be your dark horse
And you will be my black swan
Hanging out in a parking lot
We'll keep each other warm tonight
When her teardrops fall
Lit up by halogens
All the pain flows out
She stops making sense
She scrapes her self up off
The cold linoleum
I hear the screams and cries I squirm as I unlock the door

Cliche
You came to me one summer night
A little crush got out of line
And for these past few weeks
I feel like I'm living for the first time
Well all I want are sweet cliche's
Get in the car we'll drive someplace
With the windows down and the music loud
And your hand on my knee
If you fall asleep at night
And I can't be right by your side
I hope you can hear this song
And never feel alone
You said that you'd take care of me
Wanna go sailing and buy me things
And as we sweat between the sheets
In your house
Happiness is so fragile
And I know these feelings come and go
But you could be the one
I just thought I'd let you know
I press my face into your shirt
And try to put thoughts into words
But I can only think of three
That will really work
It's beautiful it's horrible
I'm at the door don't let me go
Just stay with me a little more
Before you take me home
If you fall asleep at night
And I can't be right by your side
I hope you can hear this song
And never, oh never feel alone
It's beautiful, it's horrible
If you want me now then please say so
Love can be so fleeting
But it feels so meaningful
