You walk down Alameda Shuffling your deck of trick cards over everyone Like some precious only son Face down, bow to the champion You walk down Alameda Looking at the cracks in the sidewalk Thinking about your friends How you maintain all them in A constant state of suspense For your own protection over their affection Nobody broke your heart You broke your own 'Cause you can't finish what you start Walk down Alameda brushing off the nightmares you wish Could plague me when I'm awake So now you see, your first mistake Was thinking that you could relate For one or two minutes she liked you But the fix is in You're all pretension I never pay attention Nobody broke your heart You broke your own 'Cause you can't finish what you start Nobody broke your heart You broke your own 'Cause you can't finish what you start Nobody broke your heart You broke your own 'Cause you can't finish what you start Nobody broke your heart If you're alone it must be you that wants to be apart

Do you think that it'd be warm in Montana If I only went for a day No, I won't move out of this city Because I always take her with me I just need, I need, I need to get away And I'm not sure I'm gonna make it to all fifty I never met a state that didn't leave a bruise 'Cause I was born heavy handed And then the money left me stranded So, I've got time to give and daylight to lose So, I'm gonna call you tomorrow Even if you don't pick up and I'm gonna tell you I love you Even though it's not enough And if they ask if I was boring, you could tell 'em this story Oh you can say, I say, I say too much Like how I wish you didn't move to Colorado No wait, I wish I didn't keep you in my phone 'Cause every time I start to miss you Oh I could tell you in an instant And you don't need to, need to, need to know Then I had that dream where we meet in San Francisco And you look at me like I'm a bad idea And then we kiss a million times 'cause I rehearsed my lines Of what I'd say, I'd say, I'd say to you So, I'm gonna call you tomorrow Even if you don't pick up and I'm gonna tell you I love you Even though it's not enough And if they ask if I was boring, you could tell 'em this story Oh you can say, I say, I say too much So, I'm gonna call you tomorrow And hope that you don't pick up So that I can tell you I love you Until the voice mail interrupts And when they ask too many questions Baby let them Because I play, I play, I play, I play too much
