[Verse 1]
I came to you and you to me
And we were tappin' on the window
At the children when the piggy bank broke
Pitchin' quite a fit
But how the makers of the medicine
Will always say you're lookin' sick

[Verse 2]
I came to you and you to me
And we would whimper to the women
Washing milk off of their formal white gloves
But the funny thing
Is how when God was in his people
We were dreamin' 'bout who else to be
And all the fingers that we damaged
When all we wanted was a diamond ring

[Verse 3]
I came to you and you to me
And we were barkin' at the drug dogs
Blood dried black on their hands
Never realized
You never tussle with a giant
Till you can hit him right between the eyes
(I came to you, I came to you)
That no matter how we chewed it
We'd be chokin' on a compromise
(I came to you, I came to you)
'Cause all the jaws, all the claws
Lay restless by the riverside
(I came to you, I came to you)
And it wasn't muscle in the shadow
That was shoving us into the light
[Verse 4]
I came to you and you to me
And we were snatchin' at a poor baby's bottle
Just to trade it for change
But now it's come to pass
That every eye beneath the mountain saw the smoke
But no one heard the blast
And no one knew the arm was broken
Although everybody signed the cast
Until the government was good
She said "Man, I thought you'd never ask"
And when love wore out her welcome
They just booked her for a bag of grass
And while she cried on the cross
We were suckin' on the laughing gas
And when the head, it left the body
Not a flag was hangin' (half mast, ooh)

[Instrumental Jazz Bridge]

[Outro]
(I came to you, I came to you)
I came to you and you to me
And then we lost our own Lovers' Revolution
But it started again
Now we're one
One of the parade wailing widows walkin' home into the settin' sun
One of the soldiers lost in their dreams that never lose the gun
One of the wise men wanderin' the podium without a tongue
One of the trophies caused by the mess we made of being young
One of the prayers, one of the promises swallowed with our chewing gum
One of the deaf ears dumber all time for all the years of drums
One of the wide-eyed soapboxes buried under Washington
One of the beat cops combin' every sidewalk crack for love
One of the crowded stars uncounted when the map was done
One of the withered in the garden left to wonder when the rain will come
