​to those before, and to those after

[Intro]
There is a girl and is named Dorothy
But her name also might have been nostalgia
Perhaps it would be best now for you to see it
And for me to stop talking about it

[Chorus]
And my heart rate it slows down
Used to talk a lot
Guess I'm on my own now
And I beg you to come round
She don't talk to me
She'd much rather go out
And you're a liar, cold, no fire
All the rubies in the world, couldn't buy her
I can't find her, so I retire
And I'm bound by these ropes
But couldn't tie her

[Verse]
And I broke loose for you
All the shit I did, I swear I had to do
Split me in two and I'll play the fool
As long as you pick up when I'm calling you
And I swear I would do about anything you asked
What you want?
We can hit the town and try to make it back, I'm so drunk
She pulls me closer, says there's something I gotta ask
I said go, you can tell me girl, I promise I won't laugh
She said, "Boy I think I'm falling for you
Don't think I can mask
Things I feel any longer
So please ask what you gotta ask"
I was shocked
Now my heart was pulsing, felt it in my hands
Was this real or am I dreaming?
Either way, I'm gonna stay right here

[Chorus]
And my heart rate it slows down
Used to talk a lot
Guess I'm on my own now
And I beg you to come round
She don't talk to me
She'd much rather go out
And you're a liar, cold, no fire
All the rubies in the world, couldn't buy her
I can't find her, so I retire
And I'm bound by these ropes
But couldn't tie her
