Girl With The Scar

(album: Livin' In The City - 2005)

We all walk down the street, my love
We carry pain and we carry scars
We carry everything we've loved
We carry the girls we met in the bars
We carry guilt and some remorse
For all them fucked up things we've done
And we carry on and carry on
Until our caring days had gone

When we blaze out past the boroughs
To a place where time forgot
I see the leaves are even changing
And my stomach starts to drop
Your face is in the moon
But still I try to find my rock
But now you live down by the river
And my key don't fit your lock

I can make it better, I know I can
I can make it better, I'd give everything I have
I can make it better, try to forget the pain
I can make it better

Has it really been that long
Since you've told me about the war
Yeah, a thousand nights of blisters
And probably a thousand more
Godspeed you from the city
In a stolen taxi cab
I'd be reckless on the L.I.E.
Until it starts to scab

Well I'd tell you all about
Those good things in your life
And when I'd fail I'd say I love you
And ask you to be my wife
We could live out by the water
Where it's always summertime
I'd love you even after
All your scars were mine

When we blaze out past the boroughs
To a place where time forgot
I see the leaves are even changing
And my stomach starts to drop
Your face is in the moon again
But still I try to find my rock
Now you live down by the river
And my key don't fit your lock

I can make it better, I know I can
I can make it better, I'd give everything I have
I can make it better, try to forget the pain
I can make it better, we'd be together again
