lyrics

It's raining and I don't recognize my own face in the mirror of this broke down car I flip the stations but nothing good is playing so I listen to the sound of the raindrops crashing on my rooftop and the moment stops

I catch a strangers eye walking by don't she look like someone that I used to know she turns her head cigarette burns out in her hand and she slips away right as I remember the moment that I met her

yeah and she's good as gone still my heart beats on
she's good as gone still my heart beats on

why won't she try to understand my heart's still under her command like it was written in the stars that I should love her near or far neath the stars neath the falling stars

I hop the turn-style on the mta track just for fun cause hell i really want her back she looks my way just long enough for a smile and she slip away right as I remember the moment that I met her

yeah and she's good as gone still my heart beats on
she's good as gone still my heart beats on

why won't she try to understand my heart's still under her command
like it was written in the stars that I should love her near or far
neath the stars neath the falling stars

I wanna tell her that I love her I wanna be her man I wanna walk beside her down into the promised land no telling where she's going she slips around the bend and I wait a lonely lifetime just to find my love again

yeah and she's good as gone still my heart beats on
she's good as gone still my heart beats on
