Album: Fear of Girls
You're my pal, I'm your friend, together we can patch up our loose ends
I'm as close as I can get but you're so far away it's that I must confess
That I've tried to numb my heart stop it beating before it starts
But I can't win I can't climb
The barbed wire fence to make a start and untangle my mind
Is this the path I chose? Because It's reserved for those
Who spend their lives swimming in a goldfish bowl
I need to numb the past but it seems too much a task
To smash the glass and throw those gills away
If we're alone I can't stand to see you basking on top of my throne
But still I'll start to hear you breathe my name you know you're eating up my heart
And I'm drinking from your cup but It needs filling up
Before long I'll be crawling to your door
I need to fill my lungs with air be convinced that I don't care
I'll kick myself until I'm forced to linger up
Turn the light on show the way
Don't out myself of everyday
And tell myself I'm someone else
And close my ears to what they say
Because I'm wrong you're right
I don't need you to tell me when I can hear it every night
Disconnect myself from the throng
And I'm counting this last time because
It's the last time I'll belong and I belong
Once I stopped and looked behind and turned to salt and no method could I find
To enjoy the here and now it's left me swinging and to stop it don't know how
Well it's you I got to know
And we watched this friendship grow
It just takes a fool like me to light it and watch it burn
And I can't say your name and I won't forget my shame
I'm not here drowned my phone for good
Burn the bridge that crossed your moat
It's the only way I'll float
In you I find something divine
But I'll just look from far away
Because I'm wrong your right
I don't need you to tell me when I can hear it every night
Disconnect myself from the throng
And I'm counting this last time because
It's the last time I'll belong and I belong
I once belonged
