As Long as You're Mine Songtext

von Matthew Good

The night it was lazy and the streets were all crowded
I walked through the door at the top of the stairs
She looked like a girl from a renaissance painting
With clouds in her eyes and leaves in her hair
I said without warning "you know I've been waiting"
She said "I don't even know you, so I doubt that that's true"
And I laughed at the wall and she stared at the ceiling
"You know I'm not so lonely and now neither are you"

And I don't really care
No I don't really mind
No I don't really care
As long as you're mine

She made me talk slowly and walked out of rhythm
I went down the hallway and out through the gate
And she followed me strangely into the moonlight
And she spoke words of anger as if I were late

I slipped past her guards and into her chamber
I said "I'm all out of roses but my thorns aren't to fear"
And she moved like the ocean away from my island
She said "you know I'm not so lonely, so how come you're still here?"

And I don't really care
No I don't really mind
Said I don't really care
As long as you're mine

She mocked my good nature and pulled on my coattails
She lifted me up and dropped me like a stone
She said "you know, love is just like riding a bicycle
And riding a bicycle's just another way to get thrown"
I turned to her laughter and let her words linger
I slipped through her weak spot and watched as a cheer
Turned from a victory into a massacre
I said "if you're not so lonely then how come, how come your still here?"

Said I don't really care
No I don't really mind
No I don't really care
As long as you're mine

The morning was lazy and the streets were all empty
I looked out the window and winked at the sky
And she talked to me slowly even though she was sleeping
So I picked out the good things and let the rest die
She said without warning "you know I was waiting"
And I said that I told her that sometimes its true
And I laughed at the window and she threw her pillow
"You know I'm not so lonely and now neither are you"

And I don't really care
No I don't really mind
No I don't really care
As long as you're mine

No I don't really care
No I don't really mind
No I don't really care
As long as you're mine
