[Verse 1]
In spite of calmness let's pretend, ba ba ba da
He held his breath each time 'til end
You're with me now but you were not then, ba ba ba da
A hundred leaves at the river's end
[Verse 2]
I traced the crazed pattern of the seat with my eyes
As your steeple toppled into the river
And gripping the air between my fists
I became a mosaic of every word and every look you've given me
A newspaper shrouded the man across from me
Making him appear as a spy of tweed and corduroy
Following the trail of chewed gum and chewed words
I found solace against the cracked tile, the weight of the city upon me
[Verse 3]
Berlin sighed with me as I slept, ba ba ba da
Raise your glass, cut off my head
Walk me along by your old canal, ba ba ba da
I think you're joking, I think you're swell
[Verse 4]
I never knew where you'd leave me, despite my cartographic tendencies
And just when I thought I'd lose you
You'd appear like paint on the brick of a landlords facade, soulless
You enthralled me that night as the lights poked holes in the steel skeletons perusing the street
And you said, "It's x, it's x, it's x"
[Outro]
Ba ba ba da
Ba ba ba da
Ba ba ba da
Ba ba ba da
Ba ba ba da
Ba ba ba da
Ba ba ba da
Ba ba ba da
Ba ba ba da
Ba ba ba da
Ba ba ba da
Ba ba ba da
Ba ba ba da
Ba ba ba da
Ba ba ba da
Ba ba ba da
Ba ba ba da
Ba ba ba da
Ba ba ba da
Ba ba ba da
