	Story Behind the Song This song was written from my dorm room at University. Reminded me of a young boy named Billy that I grew up with. It's kind of a internal war between what we're meant to be and what we want to be in a world of seeming havoc. The two characters want to give everything back, to not care, and not worry, and just love. Lyrics From the tip of my tongue to the tip of my toe With a single glance from you anything will go And we own this bar tonight and we own this whole city When you own the world it's hard to think that it's pretty But war is far off tonight you're my comrade unarmed If you see your reflection I'm sure that I am charmed Don't write me off my friend cause you'll pay twice in the end And I'm not going home alone tonight Never was an advocate of rational thinking I did a lot of stare and think and stare and think and stare and think I'll buy another round of whatever you are drinking And decide not to decide anything at all Mary is five and she plays with G.I. Joe Mommy won't find out if she keeps her voice down low All the other girls have a pink carriage in tow And little Mary smiles cause she's the only one who knows And if Billy played with dolls they'd kick sand in his eyes And no one would help him, because a big boy is not supposed to cry What if I was Mary and you were little Bill Could we spend the night together hold the interrogator's drill Never was an advocate of loving and leaving I guess I'm not strong enough to love and leave and love and leave I couldn't live without his voice or the sound of his breathing So I learned not to love anyone at all So maybe I'm tired and nothing tempts me anymore Nothing makes me laugh the way I laughed long before Or maybe I grew out of dressing in and dressing up Or maybe I grew too much forgot to tell myself to stop But I never joined the army so I guess I haven't lost But somewhere in my childhood my will to fight got tossed And you were beaten out of your bangles and your braids I guess there's more to learning life then competing for good grades Never was an advocate of learning and losing My memory is weak so I must learn and lose and learn and lose This bar is getting crowded maybe we should go cruising And learn not to lose any time at all Take it away Take it away The pain And give me ten fold This love
