As Long As Your Mine Lyrics

the night it was lazy the streets were all crowded

i walked through the
door at the top of stairs

she looked like a girl from a renaissance
painting

with clouds in her eyes and leaves in her hair

i said
without warning you know i've been waiting 

she said i don't even know
you so i doubt that that's true

and i laughed at the wall as she stared
at the ceiling 

you know i'm not so lonely and now neither are you

and i don't really care, no i don't really mind 

no i don't really
care, as long as your mine

She made me talk slowly and walked out the
room

went down the hallway and out through the gate

she followed me
strangely into the moonlight

and she spoke words of anger as if i were
late

I slipped past her guards and into her chamber

i said i'm all
out a roses but my thorns aren't so fear

and she moved like the ocean
away from mine

and she said you know i'm not so lonely so how come you're
still here? 

and i don't really care, no i don't really mind

said i
don't really care, as long as your mine

She mocked my good nature and
pulled on my coat tails

she lifted me and then dropped me like a
stone

she said you know love is just like riding a bicycle 

and
riding a bicycles just another way to get thrown

I tuned to her laugher
let her words linger 

I slipped through her weak spot and watched as a
cheer

Turned from a victory into a master

I said if your not so
lonely then how come,

how come your still here

said i don't really
care, no i don't really mind

no i don't really care, as long as your mine


the morning was lazy the streets were all empty 

I looked out the
window and winked at the sky 

She talked to me slowly even though she was
sleeping

so i picked out the good things and let the rest die 

She
said without warning you know i was waiting 

so i said that i told her
that sometimes it's true

and i laughed at the window as she threw her
pillow

You know i'm not so lonely and now neither are you 

And i
don't really care, no i don't really mind

no i don't really care, as long
as your mine

no i don't really care, no i don't really mind 

no i
don't really care, as long as your mine.
