"Delancey & Me" lyrics

"Delancey & Me"

Feel like rocket man
But out of tune
Got all the time in world for thinking things that don't come true

You got your black heels clicking like a subway train
Ain't no danger like a chapel pew
You built a crown out of fool's gold
I guess you're happy if you say so

She saw a hole in your family's yard
You never talk about when times get hard
Oh preacher's daughter in the passenger's side
Hell I think heaven's what we leave behind
Came out clean
But the sky ain't blue

Why did we give up on Delancey and me
I had a straight shot a chance to be free
In her eyes
In her eyes

What if we the clock winds back with no passion
I hit the bar now I'm sinking with fashion
In her eyes
In her eyes

It's all about how you wear your scars
I had a birthday party with a real cheap cigar
It's in the palm of your hand
And on the tip of her tongue
I had answers but the questions carry on
Oh yea they carry on

Why did we give up on Delancey and me
I had a straight shot a chance to be free
In her eyes
In her eyes

What if we the clock winds back with no passion
I hit the bar now I'm sinking with fashion
In her eyes
In her eyes

Cold cold sweat
(Cold cold sweat)
Yea baby I raised my bet
(I raised my bet)
Only you said it's a one stop town
Why did we give up on Delancey and me
I had a straight shot a chance to be free
In her eyes
In her eyes

What if we the clock winds back with no passion
I hit the bar now I'm sinking with fashion
In her eyes
In her eyes
