I took my time

Around the corner

Knew I was crazy

For losin’ my head

You dried your eyes

And then another’s

“Help me, I’m hazy.”

Was all that you said

Oh, and now

The things that I would say

To help you ease your mind

On cloudy days

Oh, and now

The things that I would do

To hold you in your arms

As something new

I never knew just where to start

With me and my crooked heart

To be the one

I have to suffer

High on the mountain

And ready to fall

If I go on

In this forgiveness

Swearing you’ll be here

Long after it’s gone

Oh, and now

The things that I would say

To help you ease your mind

On sunny days

Oh, and now

The miles that I would go

To wrap you in your arms

As something old

I never know just where to start

I never could be far apart

From you and your crooked heart

I never knew just where to start

But I know I’m never far apart

From you and your crooked heart
