Graffiti

Every time a slide goes by
I’m hoping just to see your face
With broken bottles at our feet
And my arm around your waist
Back when the neighborhood smelled like trash
We always thought it’d be that way
Nobody’s love was meant to last
Remember what you used to say

Don’t let the paint drip
Let’s not mess this up together
Don’t let the paint drip
Don’t let the paint mix
Let’s not mess this up together
Don’t let the paint drip

Your tattooed foot was my type of art
Did I ever tell you that?
The subway train became my beating heart
Your room became my habitat
We didn’t know it then but we were
An entire generation lost
To bumper stickered toilet seats
And streets we’d never dare to cross

Don’t let the paint drip
Let’s not mess this up together
Don’t let the paint drip
Don’t let the paint mix
Let’s not mess this up together
Don’t let the paint drip

It wasn’t meant to be graffiti
Ah it wasn’t meant to be graffiti
Ah it wasn’t meant to be graffiti
Ah it wasn’t meant to be graffiti
Ah it wasn’t meant to be
Ah it wasn’t meant to be
Ah it wasn’t meant to be
Ah it wasn’t meant to be graffiti
Ah it wasn’t meant to be graffiti
Ah—
