[verse 1] |
john met me down at the boulevard |
i cried on his shoulder cause life is hard |
the waves came in over my head |
what you been up to, my baby? |
i havent seen you round here lately |
all of the guys tell me lies but you dont |
you just crack another beer |
and pretend that youre still here |
|
[refrain] |
this is how to disappear |
this is how to disappear |
|
[verse 2] |
joe met me down at the training yard |
got cuts on his face cause he fought too hard |
i know hes in over his head |
but i love that man like nobody can |
he moves mountains and turns them to ground again |
and i watched the guys getting high as they fight |
for the things that they hold dear |
to forget the things they fear |
|
[refrain - variation] |
and this is how they disappear |
this is how they disappear |
|
[verse 3] |
well, now its been years since i left new york |
and ive got a kid and two cats in the yard |
the california sun and the movie stars |
and i watch the skies getting light as i write |
as i think about those years |
and i whisper in your ear |
|
[outro] |
im always going to be right here |
no ones going anywhere |
im always going to be right here |
no ones going anywhere |
