Impossible

[Verse 1]

Fell asleep at 23

Trouble came and trouble stayed

Took up with a split-lipped kid

Who read Genet but fell away

[Pre-Chorus]

And we can take two like we used to

And you can hit me if you think it'll help

But it's impossible to see you

When it's impossible to tell

[Chorus]

If I love you

When you treat me like you do

And I know you're impossible

Say I'm impossible too

[Verse 2]

I've forgotten the names of the pale-faced saints

Hanging on your bedroom wall

But I remember the blue of your homemade tattoo

Said "all apart and no fall"

[Pre-Chorus]

Now I'm checking myself in the passenger mirror

And it's clear that I'm not a kid

But I still want to dance and I still want to fight

And I still wear your scarf and you still pull it tight

[Chorus]

'Cause I love you

When you treat me like you do

And I know you're impossible

Say I'm impossible too

[Bridge]

I try so hard to be like you, you just laugh and send me away

When I think I'll never see you again, you come and stay

I know it makes no difference crying, though I do

When I know you're impossible

Say I'm impossible too

[Outro]

(Impossible)

(Impossible)

Impossible too

(Impossible)

Impossible too

(Impossible)
