lyrics

Well, I’ve been reading your book while you’re asleep at night
No, not the one you read I read the one you write
You didn’t know I knew well I do
And though you’ve changed the names it’s me and you
Jane doesn’t think John does enough
And, no he’s not so dangerous
He doesn’t sweep Jane off her feet
Like he used to…
But this compass always leads me to you
Why are you trying to be funny? And, why now?
Or, are you just trying to give us something to argue about
I know it’s not perfect. Nothing ever is.
But I also know I can never convince you of this.
Sure he provides a decent life
But could he protect her at the point of a knife
According to the story it’s not
Something that he would do…
But this compass always leads me to you
Yeah this compass always leads me to you
