Twenty-Two Lyrics

Under the nightmares

Lay a wandering ghost

This house isn't haunted

I'm lonelier than most

Sat in a darkened room

At twenty-two

What could I do

Just a traveler passing through

And you, you were my muse

Scattered in Norway

On a far away coast

Her breath was like springtime

For a moment I fell

Down to my knees

Oh, what's come over me

If hearts could speak

I'd tell you everything

If you, you wanted me

If bleeding hearts could speak

And everything you wanted wasn't fantasy

Would you come with me

If fairy tales and God himself came alive

In Times Square on New Year's Eve

Would you stay with me

I'm not a doctor

I'm just a hopeless case

Drunk on fantasy

Would you come with me

I'm just a loser

Trying to find my way

Through eternity

Would you stay with me

At the first snowfall

I huddled alone

Almanac shortfalls

The weatherman's stoned

She said, "We'll make it through

Our love is true

I promise you"

Then I woke up in a sweat alone

Without you

If bleeding hearts could speak

And everything you wanted wasn't fantasy

Would you come with me

If fairy tales and God herself came alive

In Times Square on New Year's Eve

Would you stay with me

I'm not a doctor

I'm just a hopeless case

Drunk on fantasy

Would you come with me?

I'm just a loser

Trying to find my way

Through eternity

Would you stay with me

I've got a lot of regrets

I'm a dollar short of a suicide pact

You're pretty tough to impress

But one day I'll prove

What you stood to lose

If bleeding hearts could speak

And everything you wanted wasn't fantasy

Would you come with me

If fairy tales and God himself came alive

In Times Square on New Year's Eve

Would you stay with me?

I'm not a doctor

I'm just a hopeless case

Drunk on fantasy

Would you come with me

I'm just a loser

Trying to find my way

Through eternity

Would you stay with me

I'm not a doctor

Would you stay with me

Oh, oh

I'm just a loser

Oh, would you stay with me
