[Verse 1]

We stood there by the ocean

We tried to wash ourselves clean

When you and me were talking, like static on the sea

[Chorus]

I wrote it on this napkin - that I would never be what you need

Couldn’t tell myself it’s over, so I left a piece of me

[Verse 2]

All the houses were glowing - in the distance there like stars

When you and me were dreaming, we weren’t counting any scars

[Chorus]

I wrote it on this napkin that I would never be what you need

Couldn't tell myself it’s over, so I left a piece of me, so I left a piece of me

[Bridge]

Cause I heard that I’m a good time

And I’m just another alibi

I'm the one in your dreams

I'm the ghost down the hall

The love of your life

But I’m nothing at all

[Chorus]

I wrote it on this napkin that I would never be what you need

Couldn't tell myself it’s over, so I left a piece of me

So I left a piece of me
