You don't have to die if you don't wanna die
You could take it all back in the nick of time
Maybe even be a good friend of mine
Baby, I
And we won't have to cry if we don't wanna cry
Maybe I got something left in this heart of mine
Washin' the sand on the beach of time
Baby, I
Yeah, I know you know that time can take you for a ride
Can take you by surprise, maybe you'll roll snake eyes
Baby, tell me why you gotta play your luck
Two aces, call your bluff, I love you very much
And all that other stuff
Fallin' out my heart like mead
I see your track marks pokin' through your hoodie sleeve
Tic-tac-toe game to the destiny
I grieve
Marchin' towards the East River Park
You told me your big secret on the FDR
I couldn't hear you over choppers and the bus and cars
So far
Yeah, I know you know that time can take you for a spin
Can really do you in, can leave you with the bends
Baby, try to live again
And play another hand, maybe we'll start a band
I want to understand
Baby, help me understand
'Cause you don't have to die if you don't wanna die
Maybe I got something left that is worth a try
But I'm not gonna be your alibi
This time
