I remember when
I could see right through your skin
And unwind every tie you made
Before me
I can think back when
You'd keep quiet through our sin
Suppress the fears of hopeless years
You'd spent before me
You can't understand
I shelter this expanse
You can't understand
I shelter this expanse
I remember this
Manhattan's vibrance
I was taxi riding, backseat driving
All night through the city with you
Through the city with you
And darling, don't forget
Save those bills in your corset
Planks in eyes, we will buy
A better life, a better life
You can't understand
I shelter this expanse
You can't understand
The life I dreamt I lived
Just a mainstream daydream
I held forgiveness' hand
As I kissed it goodbye
I cried alone as you cried out his name
Through the night
I called your bluff when you said
It gets better with time
I cried alone as you cried out his name
Through the night
