STARING AT YOUR WINDOW WITH A SUITCASE IN MY HAND



You think you know me just because you know my name

You think you see me ’cause you’ve seen every line of 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 on to

But this ain’t the movies and we ain’t the 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 my heart don’t understand

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



I say 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, the band of gold has been feeling like a nose

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 with a suitcase in my hand



The light of love can blind you ’til it covers up your eyes

And you try to find the reason not to say goodbye

It’s the course of every sailor standing on dry land

Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand



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 gettin' tired of talking, and I don’t understand

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