Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Oh babe, meet me in Tompkins Square Park

I wanna hold you in the dark

One last time

Just one last time

Oh babe, can you tell what's on my tongue?

Can you guess that I'll be gone?

With the twilight

And no flame burns forever, oh no

You and I both know this song too well

And most don't even last the night

No they don't, just say they don't

Oh, babe, I never been so lost

I wanna hear you lie one last time

Just one last time

But oh, babe

I really wish you were not cry

I only ever told you one lie

When it could have been a thousand

It might as well been a thousand

But no flame burns forever, oh no

You and I both know this song too well

And most don't even last the night

No they don't, just say they don't

And we can talk it around again girl

Around and around

Around and around again

We could leave it out tonight

Leave it out

Just leave it out

I never tried to trick you, baby

I just tried to work it out

But I was hold swallowed up by doubt

If only things were black and white

'Cause I just want to hold you tight

Without holding back my mind

...

But no flame burns forever, oh no

You and I both know this song too well

And most don't even last the night

No they don't, just say they don't
