Impossible Songtext
von The Pains of Being Pure at Heart

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

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
