I wish I could be a spy I'd spend all my days looking in thru your window and I could blend into the night making sure that you're safe from here in the shadows And I would be closer to you than I'll ever be now no matter how hard I try and I could keep fooling myself it was time for goodbyes I wish that I was a spy I'd spend all my days looking over your shoulder espionage is a crime but it's worth doing time just to watch you grow older I'd run my hands thru your things for the memories they'd bring pretending that I am of soundness of mind and you'll come back in time I wish that I was a spy I'd spend all my days reading thru all your letters I'm sure he's treating you fine, doing all of the things that I can do, but better And I, I'd go into your file and I'd rewrite the parts left you to cry then I would get back in your heart where everything's fine
i was falling in love with berlin...and out of an important relationship. i was hanging with my friend danny dzuik, who produced this song for a record called öl or oil in english...it was only released in germany. i was trying to write a creepy love song a la sting's every breath you take...and as far as my love songs go...i felt like i 'got it'...at least the creepy part.
