Fell asleep at 23 Trouble came and trouble stayed Took up with a split-lipped kid Who read Genet but fell away And we can take two like we used to And you can hit me if you think it'll help But it's impossible to see you When it's impossible to tell If I love you When you treat me like you do And I know you're impossible Say I'm impossible too I've forgotten the names of the pale-faced saints Hanging on your bedroom wall But I remember the blue of your homemade tattoo Said "all apart and no fall" Now I'm checking myself in the passenger mirror And it's clear that I'm not a kid But I still want to dance and I still want to fight And I still wear your scarf and you still pull it tight Cause I love you When you treat me like you do And I know you're impossible Say I'm impossible too I try so hard to be like you, you just laugh and send me away When I think I'll never see you again, you come and stay I know it makes no difference crying, though I do When I know you're impossible Say I'm impossible too (Impossible) (Impossible) Impossible too (Impossible) Impossible too (Impossible)
