You can lean into me And if you ain't oh if you ain't... I wanna see you tonight Would you come for a drive? You can lean into me If you ain't, oh if you ain't been in love for a while And still this city pumps its aching heart For one more drop of blood We work our fingers down to dust While we wait for kingdom come With the radio on With the radio on It's been so long Mae, so long It's been so long Mae, so long But since the radio's on...
