you were fresh off the boat 
from virginia 
i had a year of new york city 
under my belt 
we met in a dream 
we were both nineteen 
i remember where we were standing 
i remember how it felt 
two little girls 
growing out of their training bras 
this little girl breaks furniture 
this little girl breaks laws 
two girls together 
just a little less alone 
this little girl cried wee wee wee 
all the way home 
you were always half crazy 
now look at your baby 
you make as much sense 
as a nursery rhyme 
love is a piano 
dropped from a fourth story window 
and you were in the wrong place 
at the wrong time 
and i don't like your girlfriend 
i blame her 
i never seen one of your lovers 
do you so much harm 
i loved you first 
and you know i would prefer 
if she didn't empty her syringes 
into your arm 
here comes little naked me 
padding up to the bathroom door 
to find little naked you 
slumped on the bathroom floor 
with my back against the wall 
while you distill your whole life 
down to a 911 call 
now you bring me your bruises 
so i can 'ooh' and 'aah' at the display 
maybe i'm supposed to make one of my famous jokes 
that makes everything okay 
or maybe i'm supposed to be the handsome prince 
who rides up and unties your hands 
or maybe i'm the furrow-browed friend 
who thinks she understands 
here comes little naked me 
padding up to the bathroom door 
to find little naked you 
slumped on the bathroom floor 
so i guess i'll just stand here 
with my back against the wall 
while you distill your whole life 
down to a 911 call
