She went to church
she was from the 'burbs
When she passed
all the heads turned
I'm from New York
rode a skateboard
and camped out
on a corner
She and I didn't
see eye to eye
on politics and such
But when I tell you
oh
none of that mattered
When we got together
it was love
I saw her at her worst
still I desired her
I learned to read her eyes
and know when
she would lie
I watched her
start to hate me
'til she could
no longer take me
oh-oh-oh
She locked the door
but she left the key
under the mat
Oh and I've known this
for a while
but I am still
too afraid to act
Oh and it's coming off
the hinges
from the wall
it has detached
Oh and I've known this
for a while
but I am still
too afraid to act
We moved into a shoebox
out of school and it felt
like a honeymoon
She'd go to work while I
made my songs
For a moment there
it was just us two
I saw her at her worst
still I desired her
I learned to read her eyes
and know when
she would lie
I watched her
start to hate me
'til she could
no longer take me
oh-oh-oh
She locked the door
but she left the key
under the mat
Oh and I've known this
for a while
but I am still
too afraid to act
Oh and it's coming
off the hinges
from the wall
it has detached
Oh and I've known this
for a while
but I am still
too afraid to act
I was doing fine
until it hit me on
a random day in July
That you'll never
be mine
again in this lifetime
I was doing fine
until it hit me on
a random day in July
That I'll never be satisfied
'cause she will never be mine
She locked the door
but she left the key
under the mat
Oh and I've noticed
for a while
but I am still
too afraid to act
Oh and it's coming
off the hinges
from the wall
it has detached
Oh and I've noticed
for a while
but I am still
too afraid to act
