Lyrics

Broken boys and torn up men Tough as licorice dribbling down my chin Chewed up and spit out (sorry about that) Made you beautiful Made you doubt all the stories you'd heard about You grabbed my heart Eyes like wine, lips on mine Hands together, legs entwined We grew up on drips and sips and pipes Kept the streets wicked late at night I loved you and your inarticulate rage Your heart beating against time, pressed to my face Broken boys and torn up men I do broken boys and torn up men I'll do the crying, I'll pick up this pen and write this song Again and again, again and again Again and again, again, again Younger than we looked Sweeter than we seemed We swam with strangers, withholding nothing We stripped our shirts, laid bare our tears Swung our hips, scoffed at fear Oh broken boys and torn up men Take me back to Hoboken again Docks abandoned to all but us When fires took the tenements And we still blushed at Love Blushed at Love Blushed at Love
