You think you know me just because you know my name
You think you see me 'cause you've seen every line on my face
You want to want me just because I say that I want you
But does it matter if anything I'm saying is the truth
You need somebody, somebody to hold onto
But this ain't the movies, and we ain't heroes
Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
The streetlights buzz as the cars roll by and the moon don't give a damn
My boots just keep on walkin', but a heart don't understand
Why I'm staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
I said that I want you, but when we woke up one of us was crying
You rolled over and all you said was, "Man, I think I'm dying"
Our song is over, this band of gold has been feeling like a noose
You place your bets 'cause no one thinks they'll lose
Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
The streetlights buzz as the cars roll by and the moon don't give a damn
My boots just keep on walkin', but my heart don't understand
Why I'm staring at your window
The light of love can blind you 'til you cover up your eyes
And you try to find the reason not to say good bye
It's the curse of every sailor standing on dry land
Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
[Guitar solo]
The night is fading like my old tattoo
A heart and a dagger that says "Forever"
Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
The streetlights buzz as the cars roll by and the moon don't give a damn
I'm getting tired of talkin', even I don't understand
Why I'm staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
