g'head and sigh, i'll tell you again
i have to go, the rain will get in.
"just listen a second, i know where you've been"
you'll say, strangled, you'll raise your hands
i might stop with my face to the wind.

tell me that i won't live without you
tell me that you won't live without me
tell me that your heart is empty when i am not near and i'll smile
and tell you you're crazy. that's me.
don't take it personally.

i'm running through fields, the grass is high
they're brown and grey and the sky's almost even green
take a big breath and breathe it out on me 'cause the air is getting warmer
and please (for God's sake) take the chance i won't say no

tell me that i won't live without you and i'll laugh so hard i'll cry
tell me that you won't live without me and i'll wave, i'll whisper
    one more lie
and i'll tell you that you're crazy. that's me.
don't take it personally.

i've rolled in the grass now, my knees're blue and bruised
i hope you don't mind i'm tired of talking and i'm sick of being used
so don't say too much and don't shake your head...i'm beginning to feel confused
i'm tired and i'm dirty and my temple's been abused

and maybe one more time i'll say

tell me that i won't live without you and i won't stay for that
and tell me that you won't live without me and i'll put on my blue hat
     and step away...
                 (one more salted kiss and i might just say .. 'okay'.. )
and i'll tell you that you're crazy. that's me. and please, because you know me best..

don't take it personally.
