You set yourself up again
run back to New York City sell your new fame
yeah with eyes that could cut down the laws
but the camera will one day shoot you down
oh you're just a girl living inside a box
you dance the foxtrot down to the beat of your own drum

Oooh I should have asked you to be mine
Oooh, Yes, I think of it all the time
But it's hard, when you're picking up loose ends
Loose ends

Oh I met you when we were young
Pass by the eyes But we looked back at the sun
Tommy was a man who made the connection
I still see him when I can, he always mentions you
Ohh, the fractions of our hearts, the lovers that tore us apart
and you're the one that did me the worse

Oooh I should have asked you to be mine
Oooh, You're still the princess of my mind
And it's hard, picking up loose ends

She was from a family of eccentrics
oh, it was hard for her cause they never ignored her
and still her father would have loved to adore her
and I will do what I can to get back to her

Oooh I should have asked her to be mine
Oooh, Now she's the princess of our time
And it's hard, picking up loose ends
