darling i swear on my life
you are more beautiful by candlelight
than anything i've ever seen
don't write me off 'cause i'm nineteen
won't you wait at the top of the stairs
i swear by midnight i'll be there
listening to those jazz tapes
my father left when he went away
reminds me of those nights in my room
just me and you with nothing to do
won't you wait at the top of the stairs
i swear by midnight i'll be there
i'm sorry this world is so bad
i know sometimes it's more than you can stand
i wish that i knew what to do
to make everything better for you
i refuse, i refuse to die
with one single knuckle left uncracked
i refuse, i refuse to live
without a shred of regret
cause it's the things that i regret
that make me who i am
so if it's alright, alright with you
i'd like to stay this way
i'll just take an ice cold shower
on a mid-august afternoon
and let the water remind me of all
the reasons i'm still alive
'cause what's the use in living at all
if i can't choose not to?
that ain't a threat, it's just a question
i swear, i swear
here i'll stand and wait out the days
till me family decides to come home
and you'll remind that life ain't so bad
it's just the good often goes ignored
so i'll just listen to 'midwestern minutes'
and wait all night for the sound of the phone
but you won't call
and i'll just fall
asleep all alone
you won't call
and i'll just fall
asleep all alone
about
wb would like to thank chris carter, david duchovny, and gillian anderson
