Not Mine to Begin With Songtext
von The Band of Heathens

Don′t you have some feelings
Or a chill running through your bones?
Are there any tears for me
When you press your eyelids closed?

Is there a whisper in your ear
When you snap your coat?

You're not mine to begin with
You′ve got somewhere to go

Maybe we will meet again
When the morning meets the shiver
We could go down to the Congress Bridge
Watch it fall into the river

Whichever path you take
Take your sorrow with your laughter

You're not mine to begin with
You're not mine to go after


Who′s gonna bring you chocolate
Who′s gonna fill your cup?
You've run out of reasons
And your boyfriends are all dried up

Someday we′ll be looking back
From places we've never been
Maybe send you a postcard
When I cross through Lexington

I′m done tryin' to know you
And what you say that you′re all about

You're not mine to begin with
You're not mine to figure out

When the night starts wandering
And you′re hiding down in your scarf

You′re not mine to begin with
Why does goodbye feel so hard?

You're not mine to begin with
It was goodbye from the start
