You waved goodbye on the other side
And I said "Hello, why don't you ever leave me?"
But she crossed the room and she tried to hide
I said "I told you once. Why don't you believe me?"
And the pink light shined and knocked me blind
I said "Would you mind if I tried to make this easy?"
And she clenched her eyes and she rolled her fists
And she wondered out loud what it takes to please me
I was halfway to the door
And in the street, the band was playing just for me
Well I once knew her like I knew me
Nobody could see how she could own me
In the room I was petrified and I tried
My best to hide how she could use me
In neon signs a hundred feet high
I no doubt live forever, she would want me
And I was left in no such doubt and in
That one sweet moment, she would haunt me
And in my dreams and in my nightmares
The band was there, playing just for me
I would die for you she cried
I tried not to decide how I would leave her
There was nothing left to tell myself
I wonder if I could believe her
No time to hide, no time to lie
No time to watch the world pass me by
No time to grin, no time to choose
