As Long As You`re Mine Lyrics

The night it was lazy
And the streets were all crowded
I walked through
the door at the top of the 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 
And 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 you're mine

She made me talk slowly and walked
out of rhythm
I went down the hallway and out through the gate
And 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 of roses but my thorns aren't to fear
And she moved like the ocean away
from my island
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 you're mine

She mocked my good nature
and pulled on my coattails
She lifted me up and dropped me like a
stone
She said you know love is just like riding a bicycle
And riding a
bicycle's just another way to get thrown
I turned to her laughter and let
her words linger
I slipped through her weak spot and watched as a
cheer
Turned from a victory into a massacre
I said if you're not so
lonely 
Then 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 you're
mine

The morning was lazy and the streets were all empty
I looked out
the window and winked at the sky
And 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
And i said that i told her that
sometimes its true
And i laughed at the window and 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
you're mine

No i don't really care
No i don't really mind 
No i
don't really care
As long as you're mine
