LYRICS :
Close my eyes…and you’ll come back

Tried to catch a falling knife
I was never gonna win that fight
Asked if you were OK. You lied

I said I’d be there when it all falls through
I missed the scars, hesitation wounds
I tried every trick I knew but I failed

The playground where the hawthorn grew
The trees on Second Avenue
The scenes we knew will always sing your name to me

I thought you held the city in your hands
Happy hour to one-night stands
Moving through a party on a roof somewhere

Ella said that Ella knew
Saw ten missed calls, all from you
You’d been a bird begging for sky. Then you flew

The playground where the hawthorn grew
The trees on Second Avenue
The scenes we knew, they’ll always sing your name to me

She gave you flowers and applause
She gave you a rocking horse
You were always my favourite lost cause. My lost cause

A mind plays tricks, no one’s safe
Your mind was such a dangerous place
The mind seduces and betrays
Who gets beaten, who gets saved?

It’s a casino life—but we led it anyway

I will always sing your name
I will always sing your name
Every darkness, every dawn
I lost count of all the drugs you were on

You seemed to be so happy that last day
Was there no place in the world for you?
