Years Of Wrong Impressions

Design your life
 To live as if you're in a movie
 And after three hours
 Anyone is going to think
 It's gone on too long
 You're wondering why
 I talk to you as if you knew me
 But what would years of wrong impressions
 Do besides distract you from
 What should have been me
 Maybe we'd better leave the past alone
 I've had lovers and connections of my own
 Waiting to be overthrown
 By anyone
 Do you truly believe it's all arranged
 For us to get under Photoshop and change
 For approval of a stranger?
 Do you doubt me?
 You've only heard good things about me
 I'm wanting this
 To be New York and we are Nico
 And Jackson Browne, and
 With our tambourine and
 Folk guitar, no city's
 Hard enough
 To drive us into desperation
 Or make us doubt the strength
 We get from just each other
 Rolling off the factory floor
 Maybe we'd better leave the past alone
 I've had lovers and connections of my own
 Waiting to be overthrown
 By anyone
 Do you truly believe it's all arranged
 For us to get under Photoshop and change
 For approval of a stranger?
 Do you doubt me?
 You've only heard good things about me
 I really shouldn't tell my problems to a stranger
 And now I'm hoping, since I've told you,
 There's still a chance to hold you
 Maybe we'd better leave the past alone
 I've had lovers and connections of my own
 Waiting to be overthrown
 By anyone
 Do you truly believe it's all arranged
 For us to get under Photoshop and change
 For approval of a stranger?
 Do you doubt me?
 You've only heard good things about me
