Seventeen nights and fourteen days
I spent time in a hollow cave on the lower east sideå#141#¼he
lower east side
A long way back to your front door I stepped inside
And on the floor was a letterå#141##157#ust a letter
With my hands all wet I slowly bent
Had this twisted feeling inside my head
I didnæ#138#° tell herå#142##128#here I was going
I never quite remember why I do the things I do
When Iæ#138#¦ sick and tired å#141##148#or myself
Sheæ#138#¯ the kind to sneak inside and twist your mind
You want to take a bite
but then you spit it outå#140#¢ spit it out again
On a solitary chair she placed in the corner
If I gather up the strength and get a little bolder
Will I open up? Iæ#138#³e got to open up å#141#¼his letter
Chorus
Free me. Itæ#138#¯ not worth dying for.
If I gave a little more would this be fine?
Tell me. What am I trying for?
Youæ#138#³e already slammed the door and left me behind.
After counting all the words I felt your pain
But I had to sit down and read it again
To let it sink in. Did it sink in å#141##134#t all?
Itæ#138#¯ hard to hold back this raging desire to light it all up
And sit by the fire and watch it burnå#141##139#ut now the tables turn
The only way back to the way it began
Is to take another look and try to understand
See it through your eyeså#141#¬ow I realize
Yeahå#140#¶eahå#140#¶eahå#140#¶eah
(Chorus)
Itæ#138#¯ been seventeen nights and fourteen days that Iæ#138#³e been alone
So I thought Iæ#138##142# write you a letter
Just a letter
I spent time in a hollow cave on the lower east sideå#141#¼he
lower east side
A long way back to your front door I stepped inside
And on the floor was a letterå#141##157#ust a letter
With my hands all wet I slowly bent
Had this twisted feeling inside my head
I didnæ#138#° tell herå#142##128#here I was going

Sheæ#138#¯ the kind to sneak inside and twist your mind
You want to take a bite

On a solitary chair she placed in the corner
If I gather up the strength and get a little bolder
