I could start a fire with all that I have found
I may be a quiet man but my heart is full of sound
So take a walk with me girl, down the avenue
I will show you every block that reminded me of you
You're all over this city, I can't escape your grace
Hair like braided waves of fire, a sunset through the haze
I can learn to live with it, if you can learn to not give a shit
The price we pay for love that bit the dust
You can count on me to fade, but not to rust
I heard it through the grapevine, old habits they die slow
And all the birds are chirping like they didn't want to know
But you and I know the truth girl, the turning of a page
Is no more coincidence than a dog that learned to stay
I can learn to live with it, if you can learn to not give a shit
The price we pay for love that bit the dust
You can count on me to fade, but not to rust
The bridge over on Franklin Street caught you in the hail
You walk the edge of your own knife, balanced on the rail
So take me as I am today, the lights come up at dusk
You can count on me to fade, but not to rust
You can count on me to fade
You can count on me to fade, but not to rust
