Hello Annelise, you found me in the street Where they said you'd better leave me there Oh Annelise, if only it could be Doesn't seem I'm going anywhere You gave me a heart that sinks deeper into the tide Frozen in the white sands and New York city lights Top of the mountains with your makeup glistening You know that I can't go with you And there ain't no any way around Hello Annelise, you found me in the street Where they said you'd better leave me there Oh Annelise, if only it could be Doesn't seem I'm going anywhere The safest thing that you could do is run away from this life Toss me while you're ahead, 'cause I'm so far behind High as the vultures Came a long way but I'm not making out And I've got no reasons to be wasting your happier life Hello Annelise, you found me in the street Where they said you'd better leave me there Oh Annelise, if only it could be Doesn't seem I'm going anywhere
