If I could rip out your heartbreak
Like you take out the air in my lungs
I'd have it gone before you're even awake
I'm breathing for one thing, I'm burning with love

I go to work every morning and I stay overnight
Waiting by the window asking when you'll arrive
Your eyes'll wander 'round 'til they're locked up with mine
My job's getting harder with time

But still I'll be right there beside you
Still I'll be there every time
Still I'll be right there beside you
Waiting for the day that you call yourself mine, oh, mine

We're like bullfrogs in chorus, all lined up by the lake
Singing like angels, crowing 'til the day breaks
To my right's a sad sack he catches your gaze
And my god, can he carry a tune

So I'll sit through the day and I write and I write
Tearing through the pages I'll get rid of your time tonight
Your eyes will wander around 'til their locked up with mine
On tone, and in tune, and in time

I don't want to sing for your love anymore
I don't want to dance for your time
I don't want to come back to town anymore
I don't want to see you in line
I don't want to sing for your love anymore
I don't want to dance for your time
I don't want to come back to town anymore
I don't want to see you in line

But still I'll be right there beside you
Still I'll be there every time, every time
Still I'll be right there beside you
Waiting for the day that you call yourself mine, oh mine

Oh, mine
Oh, mine
Oh, mine
