My heart's an old house
With a ghost in the halls
There are creaks in my floorboards
And fingerprints on the walls
And as hard as I try
To pretend You're not there
I hear the shuffling of feet
As we pass on the stairs
Chorus 1:
And You don't know when to quit
I have cast You out more times
than I care to admit
How long will we carry on this way
How long do You intend to stay, stay, stay
Like and old ocean liner
On a dark Arctic sea
I have sailed these rough waters
Filled with ice and debris
You're the salty old captain
With the wheel in his grip
And a stubborn commitment
to go down with this ship
Chorus 2:
And You don't know when to quit
I have mutinied more times
than I care to admit
How long will we carry on this way
How long do You intend to stay, stay, stay
Bridge:
I have drowned You in bourbon
tranquilized You with gin
smoked You out like a bandit
You keep waltzing back in
And so we are caught
In this cosmic stalemate
I'm the desolate moon
Resigned to my fate
But You are the star
Shine Your light on my face
And hold me in orbit
As we go spinning through space
Chorus 3:
And You don't know when to quit
But Your love will outlast
my attempts to resist
How long will we carry on this way
Promise me You'll never leave
and I'll come around someday...
