The thrill here is quicker than you'd think The way some jet-lagged bar kept pouring the wine From over their heads then sit back down again Four times is once too much for love That's how many times the clock struck I wandered home, saying your name The arches here were built 'cause they don't fall The cat dead drawls to make you feel small You might find your small soul Leave the preaching to the president The crowd cheers, his eyes get wet I'm full as it is, I'm full as it is So don't feed me more You'll be having my head, big as a birthday 'Cause I left all my doubts on the airplane I didn't know, I didn't know I'm not in control I didn't know, I'm not invincible And maybe some things are better left unsaid But if you wanted to test that, I will, yeah, I guess, I could've said But there were nights in bars that I recall Your breath was courage laced with alcohol You leaned in, you said, "Make music with the chatter in here, SongtexteAnd whisper all the notes in my ears."
