Seven Year Ache
Seven-Year Longing: Heartaches, City Nights, and Forgotten Desires
Lyrics
You act like you were just born tonight
You behave as if you just came into existence tonight
Face down in a memory but feeling all right
Lying in a recollection but feeling fine
So who does your past belong to today?
Who claims ownership of your past in the present?
Baby, you don't say nothing when you're feeling this way
Baby, you remain silent when experiencing this emotion
The girls in the bars thinking, "Who is this guy?"
Women in the bars wonder about this mysterious man
But they don't think nothing when they're telling you lies
However, they don't care when deceiving you
You look so careless when they're shooting that bull
You appear indifferent when confronted with false stories
Don't you know heartaches are heroes when their pockets are full
Do you realize that heartaches become heroes when wealthy?
Tell me you're trying to cure a seven-year ache
Confirm that you're attempting to heal a seven-year emotional pain
See what else your old heart can take
Discover what else your experienced heart can endure
The boys say, "When is he gonna give us some room"
Male acquaintances wonder when you'll give them space
The girls say, "God I hope he comes back soon"
Females express hope for your quick return
Everybody's talking but you don't hear a thing
People are talking, but you remain oblivious
You're still uptown on your downhill swing
You're still living the high life on a downward spiral
Boulevard's empty, why don't you come around?
The boulevard is deserted; why not come around?
Baby, what is so great about sleeping downtown?
Baby, what's so appealing about sleeping downtown?
Plenty of dives to be someone you're not
Many places to pretend to be someone else
You say you're looking for something you might've forgot
You claim to search for something you may have forgotten
Don't bother calling to say you're leaving alone
Don't bother announcing your solo departure
'Cause there's a fool on every corner when you're trying to get home
Because there's a fool on every corner when you're heading home
Just tell 'em you're trying to cure a seven-year ache
Simply inform them you're trying to remedy a seven-year heartache
See what else your old heart can take
Explore what more your seasoned heart can withstand
The boys say, "When is he gonna give us some room"
Male companions question when you'll give them space
The girls say, "God I hope he comes back soon"
Females express hope for your quick return
Tell me you're trying to cure a seven-year ache
Reiterate that you're attempting to heal a seven-year emotional pain
See what else your old heart can take
Discover what more your seasoned heart can endure
The boys say, "When is he gonna give us some room"
Male companions question when you'll give them space
The girls say, "God I hope he comes back soon"
Females express hope for your quick return
