(V1)
Come up and tell me,
Sit with me in the rain,
Remember-the-stuff-we-did-
In –the-sunny afternoon,
I need some reprieve,
Need-some-reprieve,
Cos I can’t-let-you go,
Bursting-slowly-at-the seams,
I-can-hardly control-the-truth…don’t you know?
Like-an-an-angel who sings to me…
(V2)
Lo-sing control-now,
White-little-lies-making truths-out of-false smiles,
That-we…shine…our-knives at.
(V3)
My tongue wants to whisper in your ear again,
But I’m feeling like we can’t go on,
Cos-if-we do-we’ll-die with the-lights turned-off,
I’m losin’ all-con-trol,
Why-didn’t you kiss me-last-night?
Why-didn’t you kiss me last week?
(V4)
I’m lost now,
Can’t find-no sanctuary-
Don’t-you know?
And-I’m watching the rain-on my window panes,
Feeling the wounds-as it-seeps-through-the-day,
I’m-losin’ the will-to-live,
Can-we-no-longer-sow?
(V5)
Why didn’t you hug me?
Will-we-dance-in our Venetian-street?
Girl-You’re broken,
No one can mend you,
Just-hold-my hand,
Life-goes-on…but-not for long.
Author notes
The '-' are indicators of when he/me is singing it really slowly along to a piano or violin. It helps putting it in, the music can be heard better by reading the tempo of the song I think.
3rd/4th/5th lines of the last verse were actually said once by me to someone.
First in a year and a half.....just tell me what you think.
