She's your New York City
I'm your Abilene
Shes your polite silence
I'm the song you sing

She's your growing up
I'm your staying young
She's your play it safe
I'm your need to run

She's the air you try to breathe
The happy ending you try to see
She's the reasons you make up
To try to get over me

She's your pretty portrait
I'm your wrinkled photograph
She's your straight face
I'm your need to laugh and cry to dance and to lie

She's the air you try to breathe
The happy ending you try to see
She's the reasons you make up
To try to get over me

She keeps your things
She keeps your yard and your home
I keep your heart on my bedstand
While I sleep alone

She's the air you try to breathe
The happy ending you try to see
She's the reasons you make up
Make believe kind of love
She's the reasons you make up
To try to get over me
Over me..
