[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 |
