it's dark at 4 pm in leeds. the steeples pierce the skylight till the last of it bleeds. the absent sound of another day as it recedes. into the shadows.
Jet fuel and traffic lines. pulling up to the delta signs. distant shape of my hometown. black stain where the wheels touch down. I pick up the morning news.
I sit two stories above the street. It's awful quiet here since love fell asleep. There's life down below me though. Kids are walking home from school.
there comes a time eventually. when the cold black water goes under the bridge. so I say yes we can meet up. it's been too long and life goes on and I can do this.
Ohh, the party's kicked up a few notches. Look at us getting loose. She leans back against the wall and she watches. Tugging her collar like it might be a noose.
These are the last tears I'm gonna cry for you.. My cryin's through, I'm moving on.. I don't regret and won't forget. A single thing that we went through,.
I don't know if it was real or in a dream. Lately waking up I'm not sure where I've been. There was a table set for six and five were there. I stood outside and kept my eyes upon that empty chair.
You can go to the East. To find your, your inner hemisphere. You say we're under the same sky. Babe, you're bound to realize. Honey it's not that clear.
What's gone is best forgotten. The past flown miss. Is purposely spared from my raining bullets. To keep away from consequence. I gave you life. Comprehend that I gave you life.
I knew how it felt to be another one in need. Of someone to show the way. Until you saw a part of me that nobody else could see. And my life hasn't been the same.
Another night follows the day. Like a child does to its mother. And everywhere I look I see your face. On the face of others. And I can't escape the pain.
I still remember the time. When this all felt like a dream. So completely out of reach. Frustrating. . We kept our nose to the grind. Make the days turn into weeks.
I just thought that I'd let you know. that although I'm far. I'm close to you within. and all the time spent by your side. is taken deep in me. held for me to keep.
This is ours. We made it with our everything. Something real. As real as it could ever be. You gave me all of yourself. I gave you all of me. Now set it free from yourself for everyone to see.
I'm lost, so lost, so lost. I'm falling down. so far down. . You said to take a deep breath. we count back from ten, ten, ten. It's the only way that you know how.
Sleep, sleep little darling. I swear I'm not trying to wear you out. I'm not trying to drag you down. . When you fall asleep tonight. They'll be waiting for you.
The distance and my hearts to sand. Flowing through the hourglass. Time to let go of all we know. And break our hearts in stride. . I need you now more like yesterday.
I'll take control if you'll let me. Just promise you won't forget these last few words. I'll take it slow and gentle. As long as you remember these last few words.
All these daggers and these swords. Can't cut me like the words from your lips. Can you feel my fingertips tracing all over your body. My knees are weak as I whisper softly.
I hope this song can tell you how I feel tonight. You are my first dissection spilling my insides. Let's write our names with the blood that's in our cheeks.
