Jack's Valentine - Over the Rhine

Help me

Spread my table

I’ve been tryin' but I’m just not able

There’s so much left inside

So very much I’ve been tryin' to hide

Life gets pretty heavy and I wish it was light

But after all I love the night

And there’s that word again

I still hear it every now and again

I breathe you

'Cause you help me forget

Everything I don’t know about love yet

I need you 'cause you help me forget

You help me forget

I drink you 'cause you help me to see

It’s mostly myself that’s killin' me

I think I have to, to help me forget

Everything I don’t know about love yet

Someone said these were the best days (best days)

Best days of our life

I suppose there could be worse ways (worse ways)

Worse ways to learn to cry

And if these should be the last days (last days)

The last days for you and I

I suppose this is the best way (best way)

Best way to say goodbye

I breathe you

'Cause you help me forget

Everything I don’t know about love yet

I need you 'cause you help me forget

Yeah, you help me forget

I drink you 'cause you help me to see

It’s mostly myself that’s killin' me

I think I have to, to help me forget

Everything I don’t know about love yet

It snows in here

It snows forever

But there’s no Christmas underneath this weather

When it blows here and gets real cold

I wanna trip myself and fall upon your fabulous sword

And move here by the stained-glass window

Forget about the inside ghetto

Down here on the hardwood floor

The lines on the ceiling start to swim once more

Like a cheap Renoir

A fake Van Gogh

A pop Monet

A blue Degas

I breathe you

I need you
