You Got To Me

Intro: To celebrate undying faith, weâ??re gathered here like drifted wrecks for a late September wedding, October breathing down our necks. I knew this town in another time. I knew this town a younger man with the world in my hip pocket a subway token in my hand. Mmm you got to me. And they got candlelight and a reggae band, champagne by the bucket load Limos lined up down the curb to take us where we need to go. And I need to go somewhere Iâ??ve been to find a place I lost the trail Way back then so long ago I donâ??t suppose you even know You got to me. Brought all this empty down on top of me. You got to me. We danced between the snowflakes falling, tripping on the cobblestones And the trolley tracks, we had it all then, Christmas break your roommates gone We stoked the fire and let it burn till the embers glowed in the morning light Trust in the tangle of skin on skins Iâ??ve not known quite that feeling since You got to me. Brought all this empty down on top of me. I didnâ??t know but we were not to be, but I know a thing or two now. The wedding partyâ??s raging yet, how the old and desperate misbehave Limo smells like cocaine sweat, cheap cologne and aftershave Itâ??s gotta be one of these row house doors I knew the number long ago I step out on the curb. Tell the driver just go on and go. You got to me. Brought all this empty down on top of me. I didnâ??t know but we were not to be, but I know a thing or two now. Interlude: The paper boy wants a smoke, leans his bike against a tree Heâ??s tired and cold and broke and he donâ??t what to make of me Standing here in my three piece suit, standing here just like I am With my vest unbuttoned and my neck tie loose, impervious to all abuse You got to me. Brought all this empty down on top of me. Off on a thousand dollar odyssey, and I know a thing or two now. Yeah I know a thing or two now. Yeah I know a thing or two now.
