In the midnight heat
I thought I heard you call my name
Or was it just the hustling in the street?
The rustling of my feet?
Have I been alone too long?
You've always been in my subway dreams
You left my heart just bursting at the seams
I heard a whisper
Was there someone right behind of me?
Or was it just the garbage blowing in the street?
The leaves on the trees?
I'm out in so called Freedom Park
All of them showed it
All I could see
Were all the shameless people
Trying to hide in the backstreets
Like an everlasting dream I need you
Why'd you not come back?
We swore we'd be lovers
But I never knew what that would mean
I found it harder to admit defeat
You hear me, babe?
I need you now, now
Stumbling round in empty bars
Wishing I could have made a start
I wanna be with you when they bring me down
I'm a prisoner of the dawn
Highways and byways pass me
But I don't know what they mean
I was just wishing I was someplace else
Like an everlasting dream I need you
Why'd you not come back?
We swore we'd be lovers
But I never knew what that would mean
I found it harder to admit defeat
Oh, my heart just bursting at the seams
You left my heart bursting at the seams
You left my heart bursting
Why did you break me, baby?
Oh, baby, I need you back
You left my heart bursting at the seams (×2)
You left my heart bursting, bursting, bursting
You left my heart bursting at the seams (×2)
You left me bursting, bursting, bursting
The only place I could find any lyrics for this song was here and the person who tried to transribe them said that they're mostly his own interpretation of how he hears them, so some places don't make much sense. I tried myself correcting a few minor things, but the overall meaning still says the same.
