Old Coat

Old Coat

It was a long crazy love affair
When none of us were really there
Nothing can erase what we were
None of that was, it was fair, no, it wasn't fair
It was a long crazy waste of time
When there was a time when we stopped mind
And we stop being kind
We draw outside, outside the line

We walk outside the line
We draw blood under the line
We started a fire where neither is saved

I'm on your mind
I know I do
Burning in a thousand pieces
I know I do
But you can't throw me out
Do you want to hug me now
Want to continue around
You keep me burning in your thoughts
But I'm still there
Saved as your favorite old coat

It was a long crazy case unreal
When we thought we could feel
Realizing that our love has been steal
We didn't, did a deal, we didn't have a deal
It was a long crazy affection
When we had, in us, a great admiration
Until we lose inspiration
And everything was, it was a disaster

We created a great disaster
Staying in a major disaster
We destroyed the flame we kept burnin'

I'm on your mind
I know I do
Burning in a thousand pieces
I know I do
But you can't throw me out
Do you want to hug me now
Want to continue around
You keep me burning in your thoughts
But I'm still there
Saved as your favorite old coat

I was 19
Thinking I had the world
With you, with you
We were leaving
Thinking it didn't hurt
But it do, but it do

So young and so reckless
So full of self and selfish
It was comfortable, so selfless
We made ourselves heartless

And I say:

It was a long crazy sentimental love
When we thought we could only solve
With the whole world in our hands
I sing it to try, try to understand

I gon' understand
Somehow I'll understand
And I'll fix again the broken, broken heart

I'm on your mind
I know I do
Burning in a thousand pieces
I know I do
But you can't throw me out
Do you want to hug me now
Want to continue around
You keep me burning in your thoughts
But I'm still there
Saved as your favorite old coat

Your old, old coat
Your old, old coat
You keep me burning in your thoughts
But saved as your favorite old coat
Your old, old coat
Your old, old coat
Like your old, old coat

That one day
When you look at him
You'll remember me
When you look through
I'll be looking too
Burning in thought
Saved as a dusty, pale old coat
Your favorite old coat
