LETRA DE "The Alcott"

I get myself twisted in threads to meet you at The Alcott
I go to the corner in the back where you'd always be
And there you are sitting as usual with your golden notebook
Writing something about someone who used to be me

And the last thing you wanted
Is the first thing I do
I tell you my problems
You tell me the truth
It's the last thing you wanted
It's the first thing I do
I tell you that I think I'm falling
Back in love with you

I sit there silently waiting for you to look up
I see you smile when you see it's me
I had to do something to break into your golden thinking
How many times will I do this and you'll still believe? 

It's the last thing you wanted
       Tell me which side are you on, dear
It's the first thing you do
       Give me some tips to forget you
You tell me your problems
 Have I become one of your problems?
And I tell you the truth
        Could it be easy this once?
It's the last thing you wanted
        Everything that’s mine is a landmine
It's the first thing I do
Did my love aid and abet you?
I tell you that I think I'm falling
        Back in love with you

And I'll ruin it all over
I'll ruin it for you
I'll ruin it all over

And over, like I always do
        Why don’t you
I'll ruin it all over
        Rain on my parade
I'll ruin it for you
        Shred my evening gown
I'll ruin it all over Read my sentence out loud
        And over, like I always do
Cuz I love this curse on our house

It's the last thing I wanted
        Tell me which side are you on, dear
It's the first thing I do
        Give me some tips to forget you
I tell you my problems
        Have I become one of your problems?
And you tell me the truth
        It's the last thing I wanted
Everything that’s mine is a landmine
        It's the first thing I do
Did my love aid and abet you?
        I tell you that I think I'm falling
Back in love
        Back in love
Back in love with you
        Back in love with you
