[Verse 1] And I remember how the pillows felt like clouds Or was it the other way around And how your neighbor came in to yell at you When the party got too loud And when I snuck into your living room And I wished that you would follow At first you didn't but then you did And it was already tomorrow And you told me how you had a notebook Played the villain in those movies And how we died and then you cried You apologized profusely I was nervous that this was as good as I could ever feel And I was right [Chorus] I confess to thinking s** was my salvation But really they just start with the letter 'S' You'll forgive me for thinking heaven was her bedroom It's as close as I would ever get As close as I would ever get [Verse 2] And I'll always remember picking out my favorite records from your apartment Kissing you before you left me for New York Weren't you a princess, or an heiress, or just the daughter of a rich man In this land of constant sunshine that should never have to work New York City's cold and when you love someone you should hold on their lips so tightly Till you crush them Or they wriggle from your grasp Don't just stand there and say nothing But at least I learned my lesson [Chorus] I confess to thinking s** was my salvation But really they just start with the letter 'S' You'll forgive me for thinking heaven was her bedroom It's as close as I would ever get As close as I would ever get [Bridge] If I ever make it to New York Like I said that I would Would you do me any good? If I ever make it to New York Like I told you on the phone I confess to thinking s** was my salvation When really they just start with the letter 'S' You'll forgive me for thinking heaven was her bedroom It's as close as i would ever get As close as i would ever get As close as i would ever get As close as i would ever get As close as i would ever get As close as i would ever get
