Debut

Sometimes when I'm singing

You draw pictures on the walls

And I wonder then if how I feel

Makes sense to you at all

I show tunes to you I've written

So you cover them in paint

They're better now, grey and smudged and

Dirty like your face

I swung you to the city

And you wished that it was new

So you could write an art-house film

And I could make my debut

All I am asking of you now

Is just to take me back in time

To the nights above the city

When you asked if you were mine

I'll drive with you all morning

Down the streets and avenues

And then we'll sit among the gravestones

And I'll try to break the news

That I am happier with you

Than I will ever be again

I'll give up before I'm done

And we can dance in the rain

I swung you to the city

And you wished that it was new

So you could write an art-house film

And I could make my debut

All I am asking of you now

Is just to take me back in time

To the nights above the city

When you swore that you were mine

I would give everything I have

To tell you everything I want

But there's too much I have to tell you

And too much that I forgot

I wonder now if all this time with you

Will linger in my mind

Beyond the days we spend so vacantly

When this is left behind

I won't regret the taste of you

Or how your head feels on my chest

I'll never spill a single secret

Or a sin that you confessed

And I won't cry when this is over

When it's time to say goodbye

No I won't cry

I won't cry
