I could've settled down in Paris

But the man who came for me

Took me by the hand

And said it was time to leave

Margaret atwood, she could not stop him

Virginia woolf, she could not stop him

The truth is I wanted to go

He is all I know, he is all I know…


I got back home from Paris

And he told me what I'd done was wrong

And though his speech was rather long

I listened like an obedient child

The light was coming in through the windows

It was a most familiar type of night

How I loved every streetlight

And I wanted him to kiss me


Margaret atwood, she could not stop me

Virginia woolf, she could not stop me

The truth is I wanted to go

He is all I know, he is all I know…


Sweet, sweet forever

I'll comfort myself in my next life…


He told me that he couldn't live without me

And I told him the same thing too

And though we knew it wasn't true

We both knew it wasn't a lie

The light was coming in through the window

It was a most familiar type of night

How I loved every streetlight

And I wanted him to kiss me


Margaret atwood, she could not stop me

Virginia woolf, she could not stop me

The truth is I wanted to go

He is all I know, he is all I know…


Sweet, sweet forever

I'll comfort myself in my next life…
