You Got to Me

To celebrate undying faith
 We're gathered here like drifted wrecks
 for a late September wedding
 October breathing down our necks
 And I knew this town in another time
 I knew this town a younger man
 With the world in my hip pocket
 and a subway token in my hand...
 ♪
 You got to me
 ♪
 And they got candle light and a reggae band
 Champagne by the bucket load
 Limos lined up down the curb
 to take us where we need to go
 And I need to go somewhere I've been
 to find the place I lost the trail
 Way back then, so long ago
 I don't suppose you even know you got to me
 Brought all this empty down on top of me
 ♪
 You got to me
 ♪
 We danced between the snowflakes falling
 tripping on the cobblestones
 and the trolley tracks, we had it all then
 Christmas break, your roommates gone
 We stoked the fire and let it burn
 til the embers glowed in the morning light
 Trust in the tangle of skin on skin
 I've not known quite that feeling since you got to me
 Brought all this empty down on top of me
 I didn't know that we were not to be
 but I know a thing or two now
 ♪
 The wedding party's raging yet
 how the old and desperate misbehave
 The limo smells like cocaine sweat
 cheap perfume and aftershave
 It's gotta be one of these row house doors
 I knew the number long ago
 I'll step out on the curb
 and tell the driver "just go on and go"
 And you got to me
 Brought all this empty down on top of me
 I didn't know now that we were not to be
 but I know a thing or two now
 ♪
 The paper boy wants a smoke
 Leans his bike against a tree
 And he's tired and cold and broke
 and he don't know what to make of me
 Standing here in my three piece suit
 Standing here just like I am
 With my vest unbuttoned and my necktie loose
 Impervious to all abuse
 You got to me
 Brought all this empty down on top of me
 Off on a thousand dollar odyssey
 and I know a thing or two now
