[Verse 1]

In comparison to Paris
You lie like the city of lights and
You fight like my parents
About who and what and when

And you barely even shared it
Goodnight to the pretty old sky
And goodnight to the terrace
Where we knew what we had been

​

[Verse 2]
And your mind is just like theirs is
To die, what a pity to die 

Without getting to cherish 

All the things you left behind

And I know you know what fair is
So why do you sit there and cry 

Like you might have to bear this

Like you'd even have to try?

​

[Chorus]
I know for a fact I'm on your mind, like all the time

And when you get back to being fine, then I'm your guy

 

[Verse 2]
In the valley there's a river 

That moves like a snake, how it glides and it slithers 

Away in a way that makes it seem to only grow bigger

There's a boat upon this river 

That came from the lake and she's headed away for the winter 

And freezing and I'd be most pleased to go with her

​

[Chorus]
But it seems like I am stuck on you and you are stuck on me.

I don't know what to do 'cause you did this to me

​

[Verse 3] (Repeat of Verse 1)
Oh, in comparison to Paris
You lie like the city of lights and
You fight like my parents
About who and what and when

 

And you barely even shared it
Goodnight to the pretty old sky
And goodnight to the terrace
Where we knew what we had been

​

[Outro]
I know for a fact I'm on your mind, like all the time

And when you get back to being fine then I'm your guy
