[Verse 1]
Megan, I have worn you like a blanket in the cold
Shivering on your barstool, soaked down to the bone
Breaking your attention from across a crowded room
Where you pour expensive poison for rich boys to consume
Catching every smile in the corners of your mouth
You were empty of the future, unaware of doubt
As you danced around the counter, with your lips all painted red
Threw your arms around me and got burned into my head
[Verse 2]
First time that I saw you, you were walking up my street
Hours after midnight, man, you must have been insane
To come and meet some stranger in the middle of the night
And go speeding through the darkness on the back of his bike
But we rode together in the wind, vanished in a dream
Where the nights went on forever, the last stand of something free
There was a warning you neglected to receive
From your beloved Audrey Hepburn, never love a wild thing
[Refrain]
I was only looking for shelter from the storm
I said I couldn't stay, but then I stayed a little more
Tie me down, Delilah, just please don't cut my hair
Love is not a contract, it's a burden we share
