[Chorus]
In the backseat of the taxi
When you told me we were only
Two punch-drunk souls all tangled in the wind
And in the backseat when you asked me
"Is the sadness everlasting?"
I pulled you closer, looked at you and said
"Love, I think it is"

[Verse 1]
And it creeps on in
To the corners of yourself
Yeah, it creeps on in
Until it hurts like hell

[Pre-Chorus]
And you know I never knew how much I was getting into
No, I never knew how much I was getting into

[Chorus]
In the backseat of the taxi
When you told me we were only
Two punch-drunk souls all tangled in the wind
And in the backseat when you asked me
"Is the sadness everlasting?"
I pulled you closer, looked at you and said
"Love, I think it is"
[Post-Chorus]
I can't say that I can make you feel
Complete or free from your worry
But believe me when I tell you
"Babe, you'll never be lonely"
You'll never be lonely
You'll never be lonely
Don't you understand?
You won't be alone again

[Verse 2]
And it creeps on in
To the corners of your soul
Yeah, it creeps on in
To the flawless parts as well

[Pre-Chorus]
And you know, I never knew how much I was getting into
No, I never knew just what I was getting into

[Chorus]
And in the backseat of the taxi
When you told me we were only
Two punch-drunk souls all tangled in the wind
And in the backseat when you asked me
"Is the sadness everlasting?"
I pulled you closer, looked at you and said
"Love, I think it is"
[Post-Chorus]
I can't say that I can make you feel complete or free from your worry
But believe me when I tell you
"Babe, you'll never be lonely"
You'll never be lonely
You'll never be lonely
Don't you understand?
You won't be alone again
