oh elise it doesn't matter what you say
i just can't stay here every yesterday
like keep on acting out the same
the way we act out
every way to smile
forget
and make-believe we never needed
any more than this
any more than this
oh elise it doesn't matter what you do
i know i'll never really get inside of you
to make your eyes catch fire
the way they should
the way the blue could pull me in
if they only would
if they only would
at least i'd lose this sense of sensing something else
that hides away
from me and you
there're worlds to part
with aching looks and breaking hearts
and all the prayers your hands can make
oh i just take as much as you can throw
and then throw it all away
oh i throw it all away
like throwing faces at the sky
like throwing arms round
yesterday
i stood and stared
wide-eyed in front of you
and the face i saw looked back
the way i wanted to
but i just can't hold my tears away
the way you do
elise believe i never wanted this
i thought this time i'd keep all of my promises
i thought you were the girl always dreamed about
but i let the dream go
and the promises broke
and the make-believe ran out...
oh elise
it doesn't matter what you say
i just can't stay here every yesterday
like keep on acting out the same
the way we act out
every way to smile
forget
and make-believe we never needed
any more than this
any more than this
and every time i try to pick it up
like falling sand
as fast as i pick it up
it suns away through my clutching hands
but there's nothing else i can really do
there's nothing else
i can really do
at all...

I woke up at seven and my body was vibrating
I was wrapped up in a blanket
I was grey
Damp and sore
The bedroom was an engine and my heartbeat was erratic
(Like I think I'm at the racing
Like the night before)
I remember one girl standing
One was sitting on the ground
One was holding me up
The other pulling me down
And I couldn't decide which one was real
Because there wasn't a sound
(Like I was pregnant again... )

"Don't move don't blink don't think don't even breathe" she said
"Or the photograph will spoil
And cut you off at the head"
So I was sucking
I was sucking like a fat lady would
But I couldn't hold it down another second
(Bleagh!)
"Don't twitch don't shout don't think don't even breathe" she said
"Or the photograph will spoil and cut you off at the head"
So I was sweating
I was sweating like a fat lady would...
And I woke up
With a man inside my mouth
(This won't hurt at all... )

Say goodbye on a night like this
If it's the last thing we ever do
You never looked as lost as this
Sometimes it doesn't even look like you
It goes dark
it goes darker still please stay
But I watch you like I'm made of stone
As you walk away

I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night
A witch hunt for another girl
For always and ever is always for you
Your trust the most gorgeously stupid thing I ever cut in the world

Say hello on a day like today
Say it everytime you move
The way that you look at me now
Makes me wish I was you
It goes deep
It goes deeper still this touch
And the smile
And the shake of your head
And the smile
And the shake of your head

I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night
Can't stand here like this anymore
For always and ever is always for you
I want it to be perfect like before

Oh I want to change it all
Oh I want to change

I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night
Can't stand here like this anymore
For always and ever is always for you
I want it to be perfect like before

Oh I want to change it all
Oh I want to change

Say goodbye on a night like this
If it's the last thing we ever do
You never looked as lost as this
Sometimes it doesn't even look like you
It goes dark
it goes darker still please stay
But I watch you like I'm made of stone
As you walk away

I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night
A witch hunt for another girl
For always and ever is always for you
Your trust the most gorgeously stupid thing I ever cut in the world

Say hello on a day like today
Say it everytime you move
The way that you look at me now
Makes me wish I was you
It goes deep
It goes deeper still this touch
And the smile
And the shake of your head
And the smile
And the shake of your head

I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night
Can't stand here like this anymore
For always and ever is always for you
I want it to be perfect like before

Oh I want to change it all
Oh I want to change

I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night
Can't stand here like this anymore
For always and ever is always for you
I want it to be perfect like before

Oh I want to change it all
Oh I want to change

For how much longer can I howl into this wind?
For how much longer can I cry like this?

A thousand wasted hours a day
Just to feel my heart for a second
A thousand hours just thrown away
Just to feel my heart for a second

For how much longer can I howl into this wind?

For how much longer can I howl into this wind?
For how much longer can I cry like this?

A thousand wasted hours a day
Just to feel my heart for a second
A thousand hours just thrown away
Just to feel my heart for a second

For how much longer can I howl into this wind?

Tonight I'm feeling like an animal
Tonight I'm howling inside
Tonight I'm feeling like an animal
Tonight I'm going wild

And all I want
Is to be with you again
And all I want
Is to hold you like a doll
And all I want
Is to be with you again
With you again
Just to hold you like a doll

Tonight I'm screaming like an animal
Tonight I'm losing control
Tonight I'm screaming like an animal
Tonight I'm getting so low

And all I want
Is to be with you again
And all I want
Is to hold you like a doll
And all I want
Is to be with you again
With you again
Just to hold you like a doll

That's all I want
Just to hold you like a doll

Just to hold you like a doll
That's all I want

And all I want
Is to hold you like a doll

Tonight I'm feeling like an animal
Tonight I'm howling inside
Tonight I'm feeling like an animal
Tonight I'm going wild

And all I want
Is to be with you again
And all I want
Is to hold you like a doll
And all I want
Is to be with you again
With you again
Just to hold you like a doll

Tonight I'm screaming like an animal
Tonight I'm losing control
Tonight I'm screaming like an animal
Tonight I'm getting so low

And all I want
Is to be with you again
And all I want
Is to hold you like a doll
And all I want
Is to be with you again
With you again
Just to hold you like a doll

That's all I want
Just to hold you like a doll

Just to hold you like a doll
That's all I want

And all I want
Is to hold you like a doll

He waits for her to understand
But she won't understand at all
She waits all night for him to call
But he won't call anymore
He waits to hear her say
"Forgive"
But she justs drops her pearl-black eyes
And prays to hear him say
"I love you"
But he tells no

yeah i know who you remind me of
a girl i think i used to know
yeah i'd see her when the days got colder
on those days when it felt like snow

you know i even think that she stared like you
she used to just stand there and stare
and roll her eyes right up to heaven
and make like i just wasn't there

and she used to fall down a lot
that girl was always falling
again and again
and i used to sometimes try to catch her
but never even caught her name

and sometimes we would spend the night
just rolling about on the floor
and i remember even though it felt soft at the time
i always used to wake up sore...

you know i even think that she smiled like you
she used to just stand there and smile
and her eyes would go all sort of far away
and stay like that for quite a while

and i remember she used to fall down a lot
that girl was always falling
again and again
and i used to sometimes try to catch her
but never even caught her name

yes i sometimes even tried to catch her
but never even caught her name

I've waited hours for this,
I've made myself so sick,
I wish I'd stayed
Asleep today,
Thought this day would never end
Never thought tonight could ever be
So close to me
Just try to see in the dark,
Just try to make it work,
I feel the fear
Before you're here,
Make the shapes come much too close,
Pull my eyes out,
Hold my breath and wait,
'Til I shake
But if I had your faith,
I could make it safe and clean
If only I was sure,
That your hand on the door was a dream
I've waited hours for this,
I made myself so sick
I wished I'd stayed
Asleep today
Never thought this day would end,
Never thought tonight could ever be
So close to me,
But if I had your faith,
I could make it safe and clean
If only I was sure,
That your hand on the door was a dream

I've waited hours for this,
I've made myself so sick,
I wish I'd stayed
Asleep today,
Thought this day would never end
Never thought tonight could ever be
So close to me
Just try to see in the dark,
Just try to make it work,
I feel the fear
Before you're here,
Make the shapes come much too close,
Pull my eyes out,
Hold my breath and wait,
'Til I shake
But if I had your faith,

If only I was sure,
That your hand on the door was a dream
I've waited hours for this,
I made myself so sick
I wished I'd stayed
Asleep today
Never thought this day would end,
Never thought tonight could ever be
So close to me,
But if I had your faith,
I could make it safe and clean
If only I was sure,
That your hand on the door was a dream

i'm running out of time
i'm out of step and
closing down and
never sleep for wanting hours
the empty hours of greed
and uselessly
always the need
to feel again the real belief
of something more than mockery
if only i could
fill my heart with love

If only you'd never speak to me
The way that you do
If only you'd never speak like that
It's like listening to
A breaking heart
A falling sky
Fire go out and friendship die
I wish you felt the way that I still do
The way that I still do
If only you'd nev

Oh, I miss the kiss of treachery
The shameless kiss of vanity
The soft and the black and the velvety
Up tight against the side of me
And mouth and eyes and heart all bleed
And run in thickening streams of greed
As bit by bit, it starts the need
To just let go, my party piece

Oh, I miss the kiss of treachery
The aching kiss before I feed
The stench of a love for younger meat
And the sound it makes when it cuts in deep
The holding up on bended knees
The addiction of duplicities
As bit by bit, it starts the need
To just let go, my party piece

I never said I would stay to the end
So I leave you with babies and hoping for frequency
Screaming like this in the hope of the secrecy
Screaming me over and over and over
I leave you with photographs, pictures of trickery
Stains on the carpet and stains on the scenery
Songs about happiness, murmured in dreams
And we both of us knew how the ending would be

So it's all come back round to breaking apart again
Breaking apart like I'm made up of glass again
Making it up behind my back again
Holding my breath for the fear of sleep again
Holding it up behind my head again
Cut in deep, to the heart of bone again
Round and round and round
It's coming apart again
Over and over and over

Now that I know that I'm breaking to pieces
I'll pull out my heart and I'll feed it to anyone
Crying for sympathy
Crocodiles cry
For the love of the crowd and three cheers from everyone
Dropping through sky
Through the glass of the roof
Through the roof of your mouth
Through the mouth of your eye
Through the eye of the needle
It's easier for me
To get closer to Heaven than ever feel whole again

I never said I would stay to the end
I knew I would leave you with babies and everything
Screaming like this in the hole of sincerity
Screaming me over and over and over
I leave you with photographs, pictures of trickery
And stains on the carpet and stains on the memory
Songs about happiness, murmured in dreams
And we both of us knew how the end always is
How the end always is

How the end always is
How the end always is
How the end always is
How the end always is
Always
Always

oh i miss the kiss of treachery
the shameless kiss of vanity
the soft and the black and the velvety
up tight against the side of me
and mouth and eyes and heart all bleed
and run in thickening streams of greed
as bit by bit it starts the need
to just let go
my party piece

oh i miss the kiss of treachery
the aching kiss before i feed
the stench of a love for a younger meat
and the sound that it makes
when it cuts in deep
the holding up on bended knees
the addiction of duplicities
as bit by bit it starts the need
to just let go
my party piece

but i never said i would stay to the end

screaming me over and over and over
i leave you with photographs
pictures of trickery
stains on the carpet and

songs about happiness murmured in dreams
when we both us knew
how the ending would be...

so it's all come back round to breaking apart again
breaking apart like i'm made up of glass again
making it up behind my back again
holding my breath for the fear of sleep again
holding it up behind my head again
cut in deep to the heart of the bone again
round and round and round
and it's coming apart again
over and over and over

now that i know that i'm breaking to pieces
i'll pull out my heart
and i'll feed it to anyone
crying for sympathy
crocodiles cry for the love of the crowd
and the three cheers from everyone
dropping through sky
through the glass of the roof
through the roof of your mouth
through the mouth of your eye
through the eye of the needle
it's easier for me to get closer to heaven
than ever feel whole again

songs about happiness murmured in dreams
when we both of us knew
how the end always is

how the end always is...

It's a perfect day for letting go
For setting fire to bridges
Boats
And other dreary worlds you know
Let's get happy!
It's a perfect day for making out
To wake up with a smile
Without a doubt
To burst grin giggle bliss skip jump sing and shout
Let's get h

I think i've reached that point
Where giving up and going on
Are both the same dead end to me
Are both the same old song
I think i've reached that point
Where every wish has come true
And tired disguised oblivion
Is everything i do
Please stop loving me
PLease stop loving me
I am none of these things
I think i've reached that point
Where all the things you have to say
And hopes for something more from me
Are just games to pass the time away
Please stop loving me
Please stop loving me
I am none of these things
I think i've reached that point
Where every word that you write
Of every blood dark sea
And every soul black night
And every dream you dream me in
And every perfect free from sin
And burning eyes
And hearts on fire
Are just the same old song
Please stop loving me
Please stop loving me
I am none of these things
I am none of these things
I am none of these things

oh it's opening time
down on fascination street
so let's cut the conversation
and get out for a bit
because i feel it all fading and paling
and i'm begging
to drag you down with me
to kick the last nail in

like i like you to scream
but if you open your mouth
then i can't be responsible
for quite what goes in
or to care what comes out
so just pull on your hair
just pull on your pout
and let's move to the beat
like we know that it's over
if you slip going under
slip over my shoulder
so just pull on your face

and let's hit opening time
down on fascination street

Sometimes there's nothing to feel
Sometimes there's nothing to hold
Sometimes there's no time to run away
Sometimes you just feel so old

The times it hurts when you cry
The times it hurts just to breathe
And then it seems like there's no one left
And all you want is to sleep

Fight fight fight
Just push it away
Fight fight fight
Just push it until it breaks
Fight fight fight
Don't cry at the pain
Fight fight fight
Or watch yourself burn again
Fight fight fight
Don't howl like a dog
Fight fight fight
Just fill up the sky
Fight fight fight
Fight 'til you drop
Fight fight fight
And never never never never never never stop

Fight fight fight

So when the hurting starts
And when the nightmares begin
Remember
You can fill up the sky
You don't have to give in
You don't have to give in

Never give in

Sometimes there's nothing to feel
Sometimes there's nothing to hold
Sometimes there's no time to run away
Sometimes you just feel so old

The times it hurts when you cry
The times it hurts just to breathe
And then it seems like there's no one left
And all you want is to sleep

Fight fight fight
Just push it away
Fight fight fight
Just push it until it breaks
Fight fight fight
Don't cry at the pain
Fight fight fight
Or watch yourself burn again
Fight fight fight
Don't howl like a dog
Fight fight fight
Just fill up the sky
Fight fight fight
Fight 'til you drop
Fight fight fight
And never never never never never never stop

Fight fight fight

So when the hurting starts
And when the nightmares begin
Remember
You can fill up the sky
You don't have to give in
You don't have to give in

Never give in

I can't believe it
I must be dreaming
She turns
The sound down
Says "I am heaving
This is a freakshow"
And I am screaming
She spins
The world round
I want to stop

Bittersweet again
Her opening move
Down and out in black
Soft shiny and smooth
Looks like the alien
Crowd got groove
She burns her name
Into my arm
But I can never
Get through

To play the game
She's trying to lose
Her ultraviolet makes it
Harder to choose
Looks like the edge
Of the earth got moved
She blurs a way
Across the floor
I spin
To swallow the view

And it's the same sway
Yeah
It's the same slide
It's the same stare
Oh
It's the same smile
Yeah
It's the same but
It's not quite right

Oh
It's insane
She shakes like a freak
Stuck in the middle
Of the room for a week
Looks like the only way
To get on the beat
Is take her up
On how to swing
But I am
Missing my feet

And it's the same sway
Yeah
It's the same slide
It's the same swish
Oh
It's the same smile
Yeah
It's the same but
It's not quite right

I'm in a step, out
She two more steps
Down
For three steps up
Clap
And go around
Ow
It makes my head buzz
She wants to come now
I try to stop

Always infradig her
Finishing move
Up and down in black
Soft shiny and smooth
Looks like the alien
Crowd got groove
She cuts a number
Out my arm
But I can never
Get through

To play this game
She's trying to lose
The stuff from Mars
Makes it harder
To choose
Looks like
The final frontier
Got moved
She blurs a way
Across the floor
I spin to swallow
The view

And it's the same sway
Yeah
It's the same slide
It's the same strip
Oh
It's the same smile
Yeah
It's the same
But it's not
Quite right

I can't believe it
I must be dreaming
She turns
The lights up
Says she is leaving
This is a freakshow
And I am beaten
She spins
The world round
I have to stop

I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too
Thursday I don't care about you
It's Friday I'm in love

Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday Wednesday break my heart
Oh Thursday doesn't even start
It's Friday I'm in love

Saturday wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday never hesitates

I don't care if Monday's black
Tuesday Wednesday heart attack
Thursday never looking back
It's Friday I'm in love

Monday you can hold your head
Tuesday Wednesday stay in bed
Oh Thursday watch the walls instead
It's Friday I'm in love

Saturday wait
Sunday always comes too late
But Friday never hesitates

Dressed up to the eyes
It's a wonderful surprise
To see your shoes and your spirits rise
Throwing out your frown
And just smiling at the sound
As sleek as a shriek
Spinning round and round
Always take a big bite
It's such a gorgeous sight
To see you eat in the middle of the night
You can never get enough
Enough of this stuff
It's Friday I'm in love

I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too
Thursday I don't care about you
It's Friday I'm in love

Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday Wednesday break my heart
Thursday doesn't even start
It's Friday I'm in love

Every time we do this
I fall for her
Wave after wave after wave
It's all for her
I know this can't be wrong i say
(and i'll lie to keep her happy)
As long as i know that you know
That today i belong
Right here with you
Right here with you...
And so we watch the sun come up
From the edge of the deep green sea
And she listens like her head's on fire
Like she wants to believe in me
So i try
Put your hands in the sky
Surrender
Remember
We'll be here forever
And we'll never say goodbye...
I've never been so
Colourfully-see-through-head before
I've never been so
Wonderfully-me-you-want-some-more
And all i want is to keep it like this
You and me alone
A secret kiss
And don't go home
Don't go away
Don't let this end
Please stay
Not just for today
Never never never never never let me go she says
Hold me like this for a hundred thousand million days
But suddenly she slows
And looks down at my breaking face
Why do you cry? what did i say?
But it's just rain i smile
Brushing my tears away...
I wish i could just stop
I know another moment will break my heart
Too many tears
Too many times
Too many years i've cried over you
How much more can we use it up?
Drink it dry?
Take this drug?
Looking for something forever gone
But something
We will always want?
Why why why are you letting me go? she says
I feel you pulling back
I feel you changing shape...
And just as i'm breaking free
She hangs herself in front of me
Slips her dress like a flag to the floor
And hands in the sky
Surrenders it all...
I wish i could just stop
I know another moment will break my heart
Too many tears
Too many times
Too many years i've cried for you
It's always the same
Wake up in the rain
Head in pain
Hung in shame
A different name
Same old game
Love in vain
And miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Away from home again...

Hey you
Yes you
You the one that looks like Christmas
Come over here and kiss me kiss me

Hey you
Yes you
You the one that looks delirious
Come over here and kiss me kiss me

Hey you

Hey you
Yes you
You the one that looks like Christmas
Come over here and kiss me kiss me

Hey you
Yes you
You the one that looks delirious
Come over here and kiss me kiss me

Hey you

When I see you sky as a kite
As high as I might
I can't get that high
And how you move
The way you burst the clouds
It makes me want to try
And when I see you sticky as lips
As licky as trips
I can't lick that far
But when you pout
The way you shout out

Hey, hey
Just one more and I'll walk away
All the everything you win
Turns to nothing today

And I forget how to move
When my mouth is this dry
And my eyes are bursting hearts
In a blood-stained sky

Ah, it was sweet
It was wild
And oh, how we
I trembled
Stuck in honey
Honey, cling to me

So just one more
Just one more go
Inspire in me the desire in me
To never go home

Ah, just one more
And I'll walk away
All the everything you win
Turns to nothing today

So just one more
Just one more go
Inspire in me the desire in me
To never go home

To never go home

hey hey!
just one more and i'll walk away
all the everything you win
turns to nothing today
and i forget how to move
when my mouth is this dry
and my eyes are bursting hearts
in a blood-stained sky
oh it was sweet
it was wild
and oh how we...
i trembled
stuck in honey
honey
cling to me...
so just one more
just one more go
inspire in me the desire in me
to never go home

oh just one more
and i'll walk away
all the everything you win
turns to nothing today
so just one more
just one more go
inspire in me the desire in me
to never go home

the first time i saw lightning strike
i saw it underground
six deep feet below the street
the sky came crashing down
for a second that place was lost in space
then everything went black
i left that basement burning
and i never went back

the second time i saw it strike
i saw it at sea
it lit up all the fish like rain
and rained them down on me
for a second that boat was still afloat
then everything went black
i left it underwater
and i never went back

hey hey hey!!!
but i like it when that lightning comes
hey hey hey!!!
yes ilike it a lot
hey hey hey!!!
yes i'm jumping like a jumping jack
dancing screaming itching squealing fevered
feeling hot hot hot!!!

the third time i saw lightning strike
it hit me in bed
it threw me around
and left me for dead
for a second that room was on the moon
then everything went black
i left that house on fire
and i never went back

hey hey hey!!!
but i like it when that lightning comes
hey hey hey!!!
yes ilike it a lot
hey hey hey!!!
yes i'm jumping like a jumping jack
dancing screaming itching squealing fevered
feeling hot hot hot!!!

the first time i saw lightning strike
i saw it underground
six deep feet below the street
the sky came crashing down
for a second that place was lost in space
then everything went black
i left that basement burning
and i never went back

the second time i saw it strike
i saw it at sea
it lit up all the fish like rain
and rained them down on me
for a second that boat was still afloat
then everything went black
i left it underwater
and i never went back

hey hey hey!!!
but i like it when that lightning comes
hey hey hey!!!
yes ilike it a lot
hey hey hey!!!
yes i'm jumping like a jumping jack
dancing screaming itching squealing fevered
feeling hot hot hot!!!

the third time i saw lightning strike
it hit me in bed
it threw me around
and left me for dead
for a second that room was on the moon
then everything went black
i left that house on fire
and i never went back

hey hey hey!!!
but i like it when that lightning comes
hey hey hey!!!
yes ilike it a lot
hey hey hey!!!
yes i'm jumping like a jumping jack
dancing screaming itching squealing fevered
feeling hot hot hot!!!

You want to know why I hate you
Well I'll try and explain
Remember that day in paris
When we wandered through the rain
And promised to each other
That we'll always think the same
And dreamed that dream to be two souls as one

And stopped just as the sun set
And waited for the night
Aside a gliterring building
Of glittering glass and burning light

And in the road before us
Stood a weary grayish man
He held a child upon his back
A small boy by the hand
The three of them were dressed in rags
And thinner than air
And all six eyes stared fixedly on you

The father's eyes said "Beautiful! How beautiful you are!"
The boy's eyes said "How beautiful! She shimmers like a star!"
The child's eyes eyes said nothing
But a mute and utter joy
And filled my heart with shame for us
At the way we are

I turned to look at you
To read my thoughts upon your face
And gazed so deeply into your eyes
So beautiful and strange
Till you spoke and showed me understanding is a dream
"I hate these people staring
Make them go away from here"

The father's eyes said "Beautiful! How beautiful you are!"
The boy's eyes said "How beautiful! She glitters like a star!"
The child's eyes eyes said nothing
But a quiet and utter joy
And filled my heart with sadness
For the way we are

And this is why I hate you
And how I understand
That no one ever knows or loves another
Or loves another

You want to know why I hate you
Well I'll try and explain
Remember that day in paris
When we wandered through the rain
And promised to each other
That we'll always think the same

You're delicious
Dreaming
Slack jawed
Green eyed
Rub my nose in icing sugar
Smooth as
When this cold and deadly blade
Kisses the fruit
So soft and gently breathing
Under your skin

Oh I'll empty you
I'll empty you
As empty as a boy can be

As empty as a boy can be

You're delicious
Dreaming
Slack jawed
Green eyed
Rub my nose in icing sugar
Smooth as
When this cold and deadly blade
Kisses the fruit
So soft and gently breathing
Under your skin

Oh I'll empty you
I'll empty you
As empty as a boy can be

As empty as a boy can be

If only tonight we could sleep
In a bed made of flowers
If only tonight we could fall
In a deathless spell
If only tonight we could slide
Into deep black water
And breathe
And breathe

Then an angel would come
With burning eyes like stars
And bury us deep
In his velvet arms

And the rain would cry
As our faces slipped away
And the rain would cry
Don't let it end

Don't let it end

If only tonight we could sleep
In a bed made of flowers
If only tonight we could fall
In a deathless spell
If only tonight we could slide
Into deep black water
And breathe
And breathe

Then an angel would come
With burning eyes like stars
And bury us deep
In his velvet arms

And the rain would cry
As our faces slipped away
And the rain would cry
Don't let it end

Don't let it end

Yesterday I got so old
I felt like I could die
Yesterday I got so old
It made me want to cry
Go on go on
Just walk away
Go on go on
Your choice is made
Go on go on
And disappear
Go on go on
Away from here

And I know I was wrong
When I said it was true
That it couldn't be me
And be her inbetween without you
Without you

Yesterday I got so scared
I shivered like a child
Yesterday away from you
It froze me deep inside
Come back come back
Don't walk away
Come back come back
Come back today
Come back come back
Why can't you see
Come back come back
Come back to me

And I know I was wrong
When I said it was true
That it couldn't be me
And be her inbetween without you
Without you

Without you

Yesterday I got so old
I felt like I could die
Yesterday I got so old
It made me want to cry
Go on go on
Just walk away
Go on go on
Your choice is made
Go on go on
And disappear
Go on go on
Away from here

And I know I was wrong
When I said it was true
That it couldn't be me
And be her inbetween without you
Without you

Yesterday I got so scared
I shivered like a child
Yesterday away from you
It froze me deep inside
Come back come back
Don't walk away
Come back come back
Come back today
Come back come back
Why can't you see
Come back come back
Come back to me

And I know I was wrong
When I said it was true
That it couldn't be me
And be her inbetween without you
Without you

Without you

She met him Saturday
He stole her heart away
Twenty-four Sunday
They didn't chat at all
Romantic Monday
Tuesday, a better day
But Wednesday to Saturday
Don't know why he didn't call

Oh, I wonder where you've gone
Oh, did I do something wrong

You said it's all about me
You tell me what's the truth
I'm happy to be free
But I'm happier to be with you
Is it all about me
Cause I'm trying to be cool
I'm happy to be free
But I'm happier just to be with you

Phone rang on Sunday
He's talking differently
I guess she'll put it down
To experience
He said he's sorry
That he's been so busy
She said don't worry
Even though it made no sense

Oh, I wonder where you've gone
Oh, what did I do wrong

You said it's all about me
You tell me what's the truth
I'm happy to be free
But I'm happier to be with you
Is it all about me
Cause I'm trying to be cool
I'm happy to be free
But I'm happier just to be with you

You're just somebody new
That I don't know at all
But in the moment I got caught up
That's what people do
Now you've turned out the lights
Did I misread the signs
So what's happening
You gotta know what I'm goin' through

Oh, I wonder where you've gone
Oh, What did I do wrong

You said it's all about me
You tell me what's the truth
I'm happy to be free
But I'm happier to be with you
Is it all about me
'Cause I'm trying to be cool
I'm happy to be free
But I'm happier just to be with you

You said it's all about
You said it's all about me
You tell me what's the truth
I'm happy to be free
But I'm happier just to be with you

You said it's all about
You said it's all about me

I get up
And it’s over
It’s always over
It’s raining and I’m burned
And it’s late and you’re gone
And I can barely remember
Anything I did or said
Or how I lost another week
There must be something going on…

A nagging sense of shame
I can’t explain
An acrid taste of smoke and blood
And tears and drugs
And every inch of me is raw
And it’s always fucking over
It’s raining and I’m blind
And it’s late and you’re gone

I can’t do this anymore

Keep getting there
It’s over
It’s always over
It’s raining and I’m cracked
And it’s late and you’re out
And I can’t quite remember
Anything I did or said
Or how I lost another year
There must be something coming down…

A sweetly sour unease
It’s like a tease
A broken dream of guilt and fear
And spit and steel
And every piece of me in pain
And it’s always fucking over
It’s raining and I’m cold
And it’s late and you’re out again

Run my head around it
Like I know I really miss her
“But I always want to do it now”
She told me in a whisper
I try so hard to place it
Wonder why I really feel it
When to send the pretty flowers
Maybe helps her to believe it

Run my tongue along it
Oh the taste is something sicker
“But you know you have to do it now”
She told me in a whisper
It only takes a second
But the second lasts forever
“Close your eyes
And let me take you down… ”

And I get up
And it’s over
It’s always fucking over
It’s raining and I’m wrecked
And it’s late and you’re…

No I can’t remember
Anything I did or said
Or how I lost another life…

I lost another life
Oh I can’t do this anymore

No
I can’t do this anymore

show me
show me
how you do that trick
the one that makes me scream
she said
the one that makes me laugh
she said
and threw her arms around my neck

show me how you do it
and i promise you
i promise that i'll run away with you
i'll run away with you

spinning on that dizzy edge
i kissed her face and kissed her head
and dreamed of all the different ways i had
to make her glow
why are you so far away?
she said
why won't you ever know that i'm in love with you?
that i'm in love with you?

you
soft and only
you
lost and lonely
you
strange as angels
dancing in the deepest oceans
twisting in the water
you're just like a dream...
you're just like a dream...

daylight licked me into shape
i must have been asleep for days
and moving lips to breathe her name
i opened up my eyes
and found myself alone
alone
alone
above a raging sea
that stole the only girl i loved
and drowned her deep inside of me

you
soft and only
you
lost and lonely
you
just like heaven

show me
show me
how you do that trick
the one that makes me scream
she said
the one that makes me laugh
she said
and threw her arms around my neck

show me how you do it
and i promise you
i promise that i'll run away with you
i'll run away with you

spinning on that dizzy edge
i kissed her face and kissed her head
and dreamed of all the different ways i had
to make her glow
why are you so far away?
she said
why won't you ever know that i'm in love with you?
that i'm in love with you?

you
soft and only
you
lost and lonely
you
strange as angels
dancing in the deepest oceans
twisting in the water
you're just like a dream...
you're just like a dream...
