Babylon

You think you know me

Collecting numbers

Your perfect smile

Transcending reason

Here we are

“You’d be happy if you had sex

You’d be better if you undressed”

And with this static in my head

I don’t see clearly like I did

I’ll wait for you, for hours too

I’ll watch my phone, to see your call

How great it was, to be in love

Always afraid, you’d not come back

Our fairy tale, our favorite dream

Your hair still in, every day dream

I’ll watch you go, I’ll watch you cry

I am nothing, without this love

I’ll wait for you, for hours too

I’ll watch my phone, to see your call

I’ll wait for you, for hours too

I’ll watch my phone, to see your call

I’ll wait for you, for hours too

I’ll watch my phone, to see your call

I’ll wait for you, for hours too

I’ll watch my phone, to see your call

You say you never wanna die

But you have never really lived

In a song you once knew well

You sang that you were not alright

But something came and swept you away

Made you think that you were fine

But sometimes still when you're alone

You have to keep from thinking things

You're almost sobered up

Your thoughts come clear again

But still you wanna stay

Here in Babylon

The records hang up on your wall

You dye your hair in one last plea

To blame society for all

The pain that you hold on inside

And keep those pictures on your shelf

Of all your friends back in high school

The last time you still felt alive

If you weren't drunk or deep in love

You're almost sobered up

Your thoughts come clear again

But still you wanna stay

Here in Babylon

Still you wanna stay right here

Here in Babylon
