On a freezing Chicago street we shook 
Your hands were trembling from all those pills you took 
And we got drunk on cheap red wine in a paper cup 

And I was barely awake when you got home 
And climbed yourself into bed wearing cheap perfume 
And Sarah screamed your every breath is a gift 
If you weren't so selfish than you might want to live 

So if your lover should leave don't get too sad 
And don't compose epic poems to win her back 
Cause when your bird has flown, she'll never return home 
Though all your life you'll wait she never will return
