Steve I Always Knew

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You can boil the night down into a thin white line Ringing doorbells and waiting next to a payphone Which I means, I guess, that we're gonna sleep together And like the morning we disappear [Verse 2] The sunrise is a rainbow made out of grey blood veins You said in my life I was too lucky So, tell me, am I supposed to feel guilty or something? When you're just another glow in the dark skeleton talking [Chorus] Steve, I always knew you wanted me But you know I had too much to lose You said, "the only way through fear is to give in" And you were right, you were right, you were right, you were right You were right, you were right Fear ain't much more than nothing [Verse 3] You put all your cash up the noses of the boys at the Leland Hotel You said, "If you don't live now there's no chance for later" I guess in bed I was kind of a sweet nothing For your money you could have done much better [Chorus] Steve, I always knew you wanted me But you know I had too much to lose You said, "The only way through fear is to give in" And you were right, you were right, you were right, you were right You were right, you were right Fear ain't much more than nothing You were right, you were right, you were right, you were right You were right, you were right But then I caught your eyes and you know, you were nothing [Verse 4] You moved to New York to clean up and came back married to a cop When I saw you on the street I could tell you didn't want to stop You said those who haven't seen the death of love don't know what to believe in And far too early you saw life had no meaning [Bridge] You were far too young to think that was the truth You were far too young to live with the truth [Chorus] Steve, I always knew you wanted me Oh, but you know I had too much to lose You said the only way through fear is to give in You were right, you were right, you were right, you were right You were right, you were right Fear ain't much more than nothing You were right, you were right, you were right, you were right You were right, you were right But then I caught your eyes and you know, you were nothing You were nothing, you were nothing, you were nothing
