You, Goddamn

from You by Paris Street

lyrics

It was a meeting overdue, almost one year in the making
A chance to start again, to atone for a mistake in
Failing to pick up on the most obvious of signs
But what can I say, that’s the story of my life

On the third floor of a house, getting cozy right around where
We could watch the flurries as they fell upon the town square
With an arm around your shoulder, I turned to you and then
Eliminated any chance I’d make the same mistake again

I had a hunch and it proved true
And then some, all because of

You, goddamn, somehow beyond amazing
You, goddamn, you send my pulse a-racing
You, goddamn, I’d never tire of embracing
You, my dear
You, goddamn, I just want to stay in bed with
You, goddamn, push and pull and push again with
You, goddamn, I never want this to end with
You, my dear

All signs indicate that this shouldn’t work at all, it’s
An endless drifting man and a girl not far removed from college
You are beautiful and optimistic, you are blue-eyed and blond
I’m fatalistic, brown-eyed, and my hair’s either black or gray or gone

I had a hunch and it proved true
And then some, all because of

You, goddamn, you defy all expectation
You, goddamn, the epitome of perfection
You, goddamn, with too many virtues to mention
In one dumb song
You, goddamn, I just want to stay in bed with
You, goddamn, push and pull and push again with
You, goddamn, does this really have to end
That must be wrong

I go away (He goes away)
It’s what I do (It’s what he does)
I can not stay (He can not stay)
Even with you (With you because)
I don’t know when (He doesn’t know)
I can come back (When he’ll be back)
Tomorrow, then, (And he’s too weak to change that)
Will sadly lack in

You, goddamn, somehow beyond amazing
You, goddamn, I’d never tire of embracing
You, goddamn, maybe my luck will someday change, and
I’ll return
You, goddamn, so that I can share the bed with
You, goddamn, push and pull and push again with
You, goddamn, maybe things don’t have to end
But until then . . .
