Please Don't

[Verse 1]

First time I came to the city, I knew just what I'd do

I got me some wheels, and a grip I could feel

Some wine and some tape for my reel-to-reel

This time around, I thought I'd make a good thing last

I thought I'd do a whole lot better

I tried to make sense, and I was getting quite good at it

Somehow, I got washed up and I lost it entirely

[Pre-Chorus]

So take one more look at me, honey

Why am I not sitting on top of your hill?

I'm not in the mood, not fit for the climb

I do what I can, but I'm falling behind you

[Chorus]

Look at what I'm willing to give you

You can have both of my eyes

Throw me in a hole and let me fade away slow

But please don't abandon my soul

[Verse 2]

The second time I came to the city, things got really weird

Some things never change- I lost it once again

I took a chance, it got me here

But where that is is not too clear
