Lyrics of 'As Long As You're' by Matthew Good

The night it was lazy
And the streets were all crowded
I walked through the door at the top of the stairs
She looked like a girl from a renaissance painting

I said if you're not so lonely
Then how come your still here?

Said i don't really care
No i don't really mind
No i don't really care
As long as you're mine

The morning was lazy and the streets were al
