Your heart's been sleeping innLeft out and lost againnYour mind's been wandering aroundnThis lonely townnnSo come down and sing with menStraighten your voice and bend your kneesnWe'll put that old trapeze back upnAnd swing you aroundnnWhat you need is a perfect melodynBut what you take is another mannTo take you for-granted againnAnd i watch you burnnI love you quietlynnI'm a hallway with hardwood floorsnAnd so many open doorsnThat I've watched you walk through wanting morenThan I had to saynnAll the years since we first metnAnd I'm still your tourniquetnI'll help you to forget the waynYou're bleeding todaynnWhat you need is a perfect melodynBut what you take is another mannTo take you for-granted againnAnd I watch you burnnI love you quietlynnBut I'm a better man than thisnComforting your wasted kissnWhen i would take you home in these arms of minenThese arms of minennWhat you need is a perfect melodynBut what you take is another mannTo take you for-granted againnAnd i watch you burnnI love you quietly
