You found peace in an old house;
Backyard full of kids.
But planning for the future
Wasn't something that we did.
You lived in a daydream.
You were built to last.
You had Chinese lanterns
While they were digging up your past.
Yeah, they were laying at my feet.
You're fast asleep.
I've never been careful.
Nighttime in the city:
Streets are full of smoke
And crowded on the pavement,
They'll all be laughing at a bad joke.
The romance of addiction,
Romance of death.
The remains of last night's heartbreak,
Well, it was hanging on your breath.
Yeah, it was sticking to your teeth.
You're fast asleep.
I've never been careful.
I'm on your street.
The bus ain't coming anymore.
Yeah, I can feel your heat,
It's radiating through your pulse.
I'm on your street.
I'm down at your feet.
But I won't stay here anymore.
Who am I but an old friend?
I come each time you call.
But you were my divider,
My divider.
