Ed Hale - Ballad on Third Avenue lyrics

I sat around thinking in my bed about all the things that were left unsaid You see I'm a man who's so out of date If I loved you right it was my mistake Well it takes me a whole century To get to a place where I wanna be I'm a clown for you I wanna be with you Even though I know you lie But I recognize so do I Come to me cause I need you now Love is gone and girl I'm so strung out Now I just compensate a thousand times My sheets are warm but I'm cold inside Yeah it's so hard in these cold and winter days To try to find something to keep me awake But you know that your tirades they hit me hard I am always searching for that spark That strikes gold in your eyes 'Cause you recognize the truth I'm a lunatic But so are you A thousand psych wards could never hold us down People like us tend to stay off the ground You see when you come down to it in the end True love never rolls around again You know I wanna run through the halls of an art museum With your picture in my arms screaming carpe diem We gotta seize the day we gotta seize this love We never know when it's going to turn up So babe let's take our chances while we're still alive And here's one final word of advice Roses they may wilt but they never die So won't you try?
