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
