Everything that happened here |
|
Cannot happen when you're dead |
|
She safely said |
|
Worry when you wake tonight |
|
Is it all in your head? |
|
So you want to run, deny |
|
No time to sit and rest |
|
Or re-address |
|
All that comes to you |
|
When you're picturing the nest |
|
And he never understands |
|
That the photo in the drawer |
|
Is all you're looking for |
|
Blue to grey, then back again |
|
Watch the fading paper wall |
|
Scratching at the window glass |
|
Trees along the ledge |
|
Are they in your head? |
|
Creepers beat-beat-beat tonight |
|
Picturing the nest |
|
The sight at sixteen |
|
Of the son she never had |
|
Once she had a dream |
|
Of the ones she'll never have |
|
Your ending |
|
Your ending |
|
Your ending |
|
Your ending |
|
You're only half a person now |
|
So fold over what is left |
|
To be addressed |
|
What you want when you wake tonight |
|
Is it all in your head? |
|
So you turn over, lie |
|
Cradling this perfect mess |
|
This home-made dress |
|
You've seen what comes to those |
|
Who put a picture in the nest |
|
The sight at sixteen |
|
Of the one she'll never have |
|
Once she had a dream |
|
Of the son she'll never have |
|
Your ending |
|
Your ending |
|
Your ending |
|
Your ending |
|
The sight at sixteen |
|
Of the ones she'll never have |
|
Once she had a dream |
|
Of the son she'll never have |
|
Your ending |
|
Your ending |
|
Your ending |
|
Your ending |
|
Whoa-oh-oh |
|
Ahh... |
