Great lyrics from the Boss on this one.
I crank it every time I can, and my 6 year old sings along:
...here's your mirror and your ball and jacks
but they're not what I came for
oh I came for so much more
and I know you know that too
and I know you know that's true
I came for you
I came for you
I came for you
I came for you, for you, I came for you
Crawl into my ambulance, your pulse is getting weak
Reveal yourself all to me now, while you've got the strength to speak
Cause they're waiting for you at Bellevue, with their oxygen masks
But I could give it all to you now, if only you could ask
Don't call for your surgeon, even he says it's late
It's not your lungs this time, but your heart holds your fate
Don't give me my money back I wanted more
It's not that nursery mouth I came back for
It's not the way you're stretched out on the floor
I've broken all your windows and I ran through all your doors
And who am I to ask you to fight my wars
You should know that's true
And you should know that too
I came for you
I came for you
I came for you
I came for you, for you, I came for you...
