you say you're a cutaway kid,
that you swim in the snow,
let's see you drink whiskey and milk
let's see from my hand-painted cereal bowl
you gave away all-a-your clothes,
took a trip for the store
i knew you then when we were still young
i knew the kid with hope and little to spare / despair
turn around, cause you can't stay
my heart skips a beat and later we'll work it out
the thicker my jeans,
the colder the winter it seems
you left on your way to big york
with a friend led by yourself
i saw something yeah you were grown up
i saw your heart raw glow with energy in
i decide stay in a rent-a-bed room
and i don't say a word
let's see what there carefully will age
let's see the kids paint up our sky-a-new shade
turn around, cause you can't stay
my heart skips a beat and later we'll work it out
the thicker my jeans,
the colder the winter it seems,
water drops from our top floor,
night cat come looking for more
water drops from our top floor,
i can't come looking for more
