Joey

Joey, why don't you come around and see me?
Got plenty of room now that I live alone
Last time I saw you, you were walking in the meadow
Your face was sweaty and your outfit was gone

I don't mind if you spill your wine like you used to
I know it's different, but we'll figure it out
Sometimes I feel like my memories never happened
Could you remind me, take me back for a night?

Was it ever real?
I don't even feel like that girl anymore
Was it heavenly?
I don't even see through those eyes anymore
A hundred small deaths, a hundred before
I am a revolving door, I am a revolving door

Joey, I'm working at a shop down on Main street
It pays the bills and keeps my head screwed on tight
But I feel astray 'cause we were never for staying so narrow
So straight, and unwilling to fight

Was it ever real?
I don't even feel like that girl anymore
Was it heavenly?
I don't even see through those eyes anymore
A hundred small deaths, a hundred before
I am a revolving door, I am a revolving door

So what is time but a thief among men?
Just a robber who moves on out of view?
Forget the time, it's a watery friend
It moves on and it streams as it wants to

Joey, I need you more than ever before now
You are the gentle only key to my past
I want to reminisce, remember my springtime
I can rewind but I need you to playback
