Lyrics
Thinking back it seems that I
Can lie beside you as I never truly did
In afterglow -
No afterwords at all
Only writing love songs when it's gone and dead
Only paying words out in strings of half-forgotten sentiments
I mean
I meant
I never really quite could say the way it was.
The first time that we met I said 'I bet that she's the one'
But I was talking to myself then as always
As time went by our steps entwined unwritten lines drew taut
And I tried to find a way to make it all safe
Into the play - what a production! -
Into the days and ever more suction:
You hold me close but hold me farther
Away from yourself - I make me a martyr
For pain and love go hand in hand
And hand in hand go you and my friend
You are his and I am yours and just cannot evade you
My days a dream my nights unseemly
Stolen moments all I live for
But theft is no way to persuade you
To come with me leave him behind you
My hurtful eyes try to remind you
It's all I can do to keep from screaming
'I love you I love you!' - I wish I was dreaming
But the steps we take all leave footprints.
Sooner or later the whole thing will be blown:
You will leave him or i'll be left here alone
Either way someone loses someone
But I won't mind that I just would quite like to know
Who we love the most -
Well I guess that's ourselves.
The days are strange at night we're strangers
Lie in bed and lie inside our heads
We come no closer than as dancers
Your eyes are change your presence danger
Won't look me in the face and yet
You kiss and make up the answer
To all the questions that fly unanswered unreasoned -
Death in the sky death in the season
If you leave me now it might nearly kill me
Remember me?
Remember we three?
It all seemed so important at the time
We came so close to wrecking all our lives
And now it's all just song lines
Time heals
Time heals -
Oh but I still bear the weals.
Thinking back it seems that I
Can lie beside you as I never truly did
In afterglow -
No afterwords at all
Only writing love songs when it's gone and dead
Only paying words out: streams of half-forgotten sentiments
I mean
I meant
I never really quite could say
The way it was.
