Lyrics

Mickey says to retire I been down in the fire just barely getting by for a brawl
And you’re working at the pet store quietly wondering if anybody sees you at all

Darling I’ve been payin attention…cracking bad jokes just to ease the tension
If I could only prove to you that we go together like ice skates and ice skaters do

Mickey says I’m a faker a real leg breaker and a second-rate loan shark at best
It’s a living for me but there’s more I could be no wonder he never seems too impressed

All I really want is you to come upstairs so I can show you a thing or two
No it ain’t the title dear, but I gotta take a shot at something before I disappear

Adrian, I was a goner then…
…I was a goner then you came along

Mickey’s changing his tune now that I’m shooting the moon and I might have a chance at the belt
I been wakin up at dawn I been training so long just to hold on to the hand I was dealt

And everybody wants a piece but I’d rather give you every little bit of me
Will you hold me in your wings? Tell me that fifteen rounds ain’t the craziest thing

Adrian, I was a goner then…
…I was a goner then you came along

I don’t wanna waste my life
Even if it’s mine to waste
I don’t wanna die alone and be replaced

Everybody needs someone
To share those lonely thoughts
Even a raging stallion’s heart gets caught

Adrian I know I can’t beat him
Maybe I can only make it through
Even if I go down swinging
I promise I will still come up for you

I was wasting away like a cold philly day just barely making money for bills
You were living at home with your brother afraid you might never make it out for a thrill

Looking back it’s hard to say if you saved me or if things went the other way
Darling you’re worth fighting for, step in my ring give me more give me more give me more

Adrian, I was a goner then…
…I was a goner then you came along
