Album: Perfect Symmetry
Was it all in real time or was it just in my mind?
Was I just a ghost passing through you
Clinging to the wreckage, till I got the message?
Hanging at the edge of the room
Give me something that's real
Give me half of your bitterest pill
Something from under the surface you actually feel
We say these words again and again
But they still sound the same
It was in your eyes, in your eyes
They were just easy lies
The little words are heavy and promises are easy
And no one's ever happy or sad for very long
Well just because I said it, it doesn't mean I meant it
I guess that was the way all along
I'm just shaping the sound
I'm just turning the syllables round
Dipping my toe in the water and watching you drown
We say these words again and again
But they still sound the same
It was in my eyes, in my eyes
They were just easy lies
And we've been a long time waiting
And it's been a lifetime in the making
We said "When you are alone and afraid
I will come to your aid"
Well was it just a dream, just a dream?
Because it was real to me
We say these words again and again
But they still sound the same
We say these words again and again
And again and again
