She said "it's fifth and sixth or sixth and fifth

I really don't remember which"

She said "call me when you're close, I'll come outside for a smoke"

But everything looked different when it started to snow

I can never remember what streets are what way

I can't see the city lights cause I'm too far away

She told me she's got money, I can just call a cab

I'm on some asian sounding street and some high numbered ave

I know I can ask for directions

From any stranger on the street

I know I got plenty friends I can call that know this city better than me

But who's gonna give me directions

When there's nowhere I can stand to be

Who do I call for protection, when I don't know whats threatening me anymore

You take a right at the bench where we first kissed

And a left at the stop we caught the bus as kids

If we fall in the river then I'll know where we are

But if we hit the rails I think we've gone too far

I think the address is 2033

If you drive past the curb you'll probably see me asleep

This isn't my home but I do live here

So give me a call if you're anywhere near

If you try really hard to remember

You'll know that moss grows north on a tree

Somehow you think that'll do you some good when your map runs out of batteries

Who's gonna give me directions

When there's nowhere I can stand to be

Who do I call for protection

When I don't know what threatening me anymore

I'm sorry for the last time you had to get me

If there was anybody else I'd have just let you be

But I love you so much 'cause you never tell me to change

But if you knew me better you wouldn't tell me the same

If you try really hard to remember

You'll know that moss grows north on a tree

With a little bit of love and a little bit of luck you'll find your better than me
