Thursdays i met you ‘neath the garibaldi statue
And i held my breath as you came over
Looking like the best of auld lang syne
Lip-synced sinatra blarin’ out an idling mack truck
Out front of the cafe we used to go
Since then i’ve never been inside
But i always pass it by
Cus it hurts but i wanted it to stay
Cus it hurt just like you babe

The past is a lake and the present is a shoreline
All the docks are filled with achin’ sailors ringing their bells for better times
And i always knew the worst thing that i knew to say
And i’d take your pride away
I would take your pride away
And i don’t know why you stay
Cus it hurts but i wanted it to stay
Cus it hurts just like you babe
On call i never sleep at all

There’s a bar outside my window and they’re playing my sharona
Its christmas time i think so and the air feels just like home
Cus it hurts but i wanted it to stay
Cus it hurt just like you babe
Rain beat on the tin roof
Her name behind my window
Can't pronounce it
Attagirl
Darlin I’m on the level now
