She came and met me one dark and stormy night
On some one way dead end street
Lit up by neon rain that was falling
On mascara stained desperate cheeks
Comfort then came walking down old Main
Boarded up shops all for lease
We jumped in puddles, then held each other until the rain stopped
And we released

This could be what we were looking for
This could be what I had in mind
You’re taken my heart right through the door
When you say you’re taken time
What about mine?

I laid in the park, stared up at the stars
Until the cops took me in
I answered questions and manufactured confessions
The gavel dropped on what I had been
I walked to the cell and waited for bail
Tick marked the days on the wall and scrawled your name
On the cold grey morbid keepsake
Hoping you’d call

This could be what we were looking for
This could be what I had in mind
You’re taken my heart right through the door
When you say you’re taken time
What about mine?
I went out one night and got in a fist fight with two big guys messing with my sister
I heard the sirens and dropped the tire iron, and ran through the briars…
Damn, how I missed her
When I saw you outside that bar room
Wet and entombed by your own whisper
I could protect you, would not dissect you
I would accept you
From this transistor, your voice requesting a song from the West End
You digressing about playing in the rain
Dear savior, with good behavior, two years will pay for this shit
And I’ll be with you again

This could be what we were looking for
This could be what I had in mind
You’re taken my heart right through the door
When you say you’re taken time
What about mine?
I'll be with you again
