lyrics

Saved Valentines (A major-ish)

I don't fall for schemes, plastic dreams
Few people go below the packaging

Phones fit nicely in our hands
They don't come with conversations

In this city there's a place I know
Where people let their feelings show

At least for a couple of drinks
Everything's revealed

On Valentine's Day I was saved
On Valentine's Day it all changed
It only takes one and your heart's undone
Too late to wonder what you've become

Saint Valentine was a friend of mine
Breathing poetry on the lower east side

Whispering things unsaid
When I needed to be read

In this city nothing sticks
'til it comes at you between the ribs

Your heart's so hungry for it
Once you've had it, you never forget it
