you know baby that it don¹t seem right
that i should be the one to tell you
what folks are saying
you know love by name because
you saw him slouching by the skylight
hung over listless
all the world¹s clandestine kisses couldn¹t give you the same
charge as when we started
you meet me in the stairwell broken hearted
i know you didn¹t mean it
it¹s just a part of you that¹s still fifteen
sends a dance card of little tragedies to me
drunk and despairing
now your saving grace has lost his daring
spent the last six months preparing
now you don¹t want to leave
you know baby that if there¹s still time
you¹re gonna meet me on the south side
falling awake
with the wind blowing up off the lake
and the snow drifting in the skyline
hung over listless
all the world¹s clandestine kisses
all of the world's clandestine kisses
all of the world
that i should be the one to tell you
what folks are saying
you know love by name because
you saw him slouching by the skylight
hung over listless
all the world¹s clandestine kisses couldn¹t give you the same
charge as when we started
you meet me in the stairwell broken hearted
i know you didn¹t mean it
it¹s just a part of you that¹s still fifteen
sends a dance card of little tragedies to me
drunk and despairing
now your saving grace has lost his daring
spent the last six months preparing
now you don¹t want to leave
you know baby that if there¹s still time
you¹re gonna meet me on the south side
falling awake
with the wind blowing up off the lake
and the snow drifting in the skyline
hung over listless
all the world¹s clandestine kisses
all of the world's clandestine kisses
all of the world
