You think you know me just because you know my name

You think you see me 'cause you've seen every line on my face

You want to want me just because I say that I want you

But does it matter if anything I'm saying is the truth



You need somebody, somebody to hold onto

But this ain't the movies, and we ain't heroes



Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand

The streetlights buzz as the cars roll by and the moon don't give a damn

My boots just keep on walkin', but a heart don't understand

Why I'm staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand



I said that I want you, but when we woke up one of us was crying

You rolled over and all you said was, "Man, I think I'm dying"

Our song is over, this band of gold has been feeling like a noose

You place your bets 'cause no one thinks they'll lose



Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand

The streetlights buzz as the cars roll by and the moon don't give a damn

My boots just keep on walkin', but my heart don't understand

Why I'm staring at your window



The light of love can blind you 'til you cover up your eyes

And you try to find the reason not to say good bye

It's the curse of every sailor standing on dry land

Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand



[Guitar solo]



The night is fading like my old tattoo

A heart and a dagger that says "Forever"



Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand

The streetlights buzz as the cars roll by and the moon don't give a damn

I'm getting tired of talkin', even I don't understand

Why I'm staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
