[Verse 1]
She said "Son, it's cold"
I said "Mama, I know"
She gave me my great grandpa's coat
It had stripes on the sleeve
And a tear in the seam
And two cigarettes from 1944
[Verse 2]
God damn, I love when it rains at night
Makes all my misfortunes feel almost right
And while everyone else lies in their room by themselves
I take a walk in the middle of the street
[Chorus]
As long as you give more than nothing
I don't plan to ask for much more
If you can walk out your room
With more than lies and perfume
Babe, I'll wait outside your door
[Verse 3]
The moon it stands like a sailor
It drifts according to the stars
Me, I'm a grain of sand on a faraway land
That the sailor will never set foot on
[Verse 4]
Oh but it feels like I could walk on forever
Long as I don't turn around it don't seem to get old
Though I do so enjoy sitting with you on your porch
Close enough that it ain't quite as cold
[Bridge]
This is as fast as I go
This is as fast as I go
Oh, so if you need something more
Won't you light up my old smoke
I'll be on my way
Outside your door
[Chorus]
As long as you give more than nothing
I don't plan to ask for much more
If you can walk out your room
With more than lies and perfume
Babe, I'll wait outside your door
[Outro]
And if you need something more
Won't you light up my old smock
I'll be on my way
Outside your door
