The Americans - Harbor Lane Lyrics

We walked down by that old harbor lane
Faces red with cold
All day long I'd been feeling the same
I was trying to let you know
I was dying to be so bold

You spoke so easy, you tossed your hair
You laughed at something I said
Helpless and spellbound, I followed you there
Gave you a leg up the fence
And the barbed wire tore our flesh

Like it or not, I'm stuck on you
Things could stay the same and I'd feel brand new
Did you have it on your mind? I had it on mine
I went to speak but I lost my line

But I guess you were right
I guess you were right
You read my mind
When you said goodbye

Sitting in the sand, we nursed our wounds
Holes torn in our jeans
And every day from that night on
We'd wear scars above both our knees
Where I bled for you, and you for me

Banished now to my memory's whim
Words I couldn't confess
A softness in your eyes pulled me in
You looked at me, I held my breath
But I've worn that memory half to death

Like it or not, I'm stuck on you
Things could stay the same and I'd feel brand new
Did you have it on your mind? I had it on mine
All the words in the world and my tongue was tied

But I guess you're right
I guess you're right
Just take your time
When you say goodbye
