Staring At Your Window
Jon Bon Jovi · Jon Bon Jovi: Destination Anywhere
You think you see me Â’cause youÂ’ve seen every line of my face
You want to want me just because I say that I want you
But does it matter if anything IÂ’m saying is the truth
You need somebody, somebody to hold on to
But this ainÂ’t the movies and we ainÂ’t the heroes
Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
The streetlights buzz as the cars roll by
And the moon donÂ’t give a damn
My boots just keep on walkinÂ’, but my heart donÂ’t understand
Why IÂ’m staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
I say I want you, but when we woke up one of us was crying
You rolled over and all you said was ‘Man I think I’m dying’
Our song is over, the band of gold has been feeling like a nose
You place your bets, Â’cause no one thinks theyÂ’ll lose
Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
The streetlights buzz as the cars roll by
And the moon donÂ’t give a damn
My boots just keep on walkinÂ’, but my heart donÂ’t understand
Why IÂ’m staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
The light of love can blind you Â’til it covers up your eyes
And you try to find the reason not to say goodbye
ItÂ’s the course of every sailor standing on dry land
Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
The night is fading, like my old tattoo
A heart and a dagger, that says ‘Forever’
Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
The streetlights buzz as the cars roll by
And the moon donÂ’t give a damn
I'm gettin' tired of talking, and I donÂ’t understand
Why IÂ’m staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
