fame
fame is just a phase
and I heard that you
carried it for days
you don’t even want to
you don’t even have to
guess who I ran into
she said that she knew you
and names
carry lotta weight
i saw you drop one
over by your plate
you don’t even mean to
she dated guys that I knew
then we became friends too
we partied at venues
don’t wanna give myself away
talking bout the things that happened
when you were younger in manhattan
ain’t as tragic as you’d imagine
so i put that scene behind me
i’m from a different place
i’m from the country
where they don’t take no trains
the city’s a bit new
but I made some friends too
they’d all love to meet you
so I could just list you and
i’m pounding on the pavement
oh I love, how I love to complicate things
so I make it an issue
don’t tell you I miss you
too cool to be with me
too cool to be with you
talking bout the things that happened
when you were younger in manhattan
ain’t as tragic as you’d imagine
so I put that scene behind me
if there was love, maybe we’ll find it
girls like you, you always remind me
I want to you to stay, but I can’t have my way
I just want to put it behind me
