| You were the light inside my mourning.
|
| You were a dream inside my head.
|
| You were a fear I’d never run from.
|
| You were preoccupied instead.
|
| That was when you called me and I met you at the bar.
|
| You’re the only drug I’ve ever known.
|
| You had a sadness in your voice then.
|
| You had a weakness in your heart.
|
| You told me you hadn’t much to offer.
|
| I said there’s always a place to start.
|
| That was when we said goodnight and I left you at your door.
|
| You’re the only drug I’ve ever known.
|
| And at once I knew that nothing would ever come of this
|
| 'Cause you were dodging bullets in your sleep,
|
| And every word I said to you could take your breath away if only
|
| You had the chance to hear me speak.
|
| Then one autumn night it came to me,
|
| An apparition in my head,
|
| You had a vacant seat inside your wounded heart.
|
| Now, you’re the only drug I’ll ever know.
|
| We were electric in the morning.
|
| We fell apart by early May.
|
| We tossed and turned like restless lovers.
|
| I never begged you once to stay.
|
| That was when I called you and you met me at the bar.
|
| You’re the only drug I’ve ever known.
|
| And once I knew that nothing would ever come of this,
|
| You were dodging bullets in your sleep,
|
| But every word you said to me
|
| Could take my breath away if only
|
| I had the chance to hear you speak.
|
| Then one summer night, it came to me,
|
| A lightning bug inside my head,
|
| There was a vacant seat inside our wounded hearts,
|
| But you’re the only drug I’ll ever know.
|
| You’re the only drug I’ll ever know. |
