2  years,  3 months, and 5 days, I've  been trying to climb this  wall,
2  years,  3 months, and  5 days, Honey,  please don't let  me fall
Understand  my dear, When  you come walking  near,
 I want you  back again, Cause I know  that I can't  win,
It's  not for me to choose,  I'll take you  back again,
 When  I can afford to lose
I  see your  picture on my table, And  your ghost is sleeping in my  bed,
And  your good-bye  still rattles,  and rattles, And rattles around  like
 thunder through my  head
So  I'll have one more cigarette And  hope that soon I will forget
 When you  walked in Cause I know  that I can't win,
It's  not for me to choose,  I'll take you back  again,
 When  I can afford to lose.
 I'll take you back  again When  I can afford to lose
And  don't leave me  hanging on this  borderline
The  things I could do, with a whisper  from you
 Could just blow  your mind
 
Understand  my  dear When  you come walking near,
 I want you back  again, Cause I know  that I can't win,
It's  not for me to choose,  I'll take you back  again,
 When I  can afford to lose
 I'll take you back  again When  I can afford to lose.
 I'll take you back  again When I  can afford to lose.
