Wilco - I Am Trying To Break Your Heart (American Aquarium)

[Intro]
I'm hiding out in the big city blinking
What was I thinking when I let go of you?

[Verse 1]
Let's forget about the tongue-tied lightning
Let's undress just like cross-eyed strangers
This is not a joke so please stop smiling
What was I thinking when I said it didn't hurt?

[Verse 3]
I want to glide right through those brown eyes dreaming
Tack you from the inside, hold on tight
You were so right when you said I'd been drinking
What was I thinking when I said goodnight?

[Verse 4]
I wanna hold you in the Bible-black predawn
You're quite a quiet domino, bury me now
Take off your Band-Aid 'cause I don't believe in touchdowns
What was I thinking when wе said hello? (Hello)

[Verse 5]
I always thought that if I held you tightly
You would always lovе me like you did back then
'Til I fell asleep and the city kept blinking
What was I thinking when I let you back in?
[Refrain]
I am trying to break your heart
I am trying to break your heart
I'd be lying if I said it wasn't easy
Oh I'm trying to break your heart, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 6]
Disposable Dixie cup drinkers
I assassinate the avenues
I'm hiding out in the big city blinking
What was I thinking when I let go of you?

[Verse 7]
Oh let's forget about the tongue-tied lightning
Let's undress just like cross-eyed strangers
This is not a joke, so please stop smiling
What was I thinking when I said it didn't hurt?

[Verse 8]
I want to grab through those brown eyes dreaming
Tack you from the inside, hey, hold on tight
You were so right when you said I'd been drinking
What was I thinking when we said goodnight?
Goodnight, goodnight
