(Verse)
Keepin' track of time at Fourth and Broadway
And I've been waitin' twenty six years for someone to tell me that I'm
That I'm not really goin' to die, this time
And why it's only ever hard for me to change when I really want to
(Chorus)
I couldn't call you so I was smokin'
Cigarettes on our front porch last night
I was thinkin' bout the night we
Sat in my car at the Berkeley Marina
And we talked each other down
And we talked each other down
(Verse 2)
Calm and careful, sleepin' off you leavin'
And I've been numbering the days
This one's draggin' on and on and what I'm tryin' here to say is
I'm not quite as suited to takin' care of me as I try to make it seem
When you're around
(Chorus)
I couldn't call you so I was smokin'
Cigarettes on our front porch last night
I was thinkin' bout the night we
Sat in my car at the Berkeley Marina
And we talked each other down
And we talked each other down
(Bridge x2)
Keeping track of time
In the same place I was last night
In the same place I was, in the same place I was -
(Chorus)
I couldn't call you so I was smokin'
Cigarettes on our front porch last night
I was thinkin' bout the night we
Sat in my car at the Berkeley Marina
And we talked each other down
And we talked each other down
