You think you love him
|
Or someone like him
|
He reminds you of a boy you dated once or twice
|
Just about the same size
|
Just about the same eyes
|
The only difference being the cadence in his voice
|
|
So much in common
|
Moving out of caption
|
Or silky like the spider's web
|
So fragile in the wind
|
And the chains that bind us
|
Serving to remind us
|
Anchors hold the ships at bay
|
When high tides rush in
|
|
Ahh now maybe your tattoo
|
Or a name lit in the tile
|
I guess you think he's staying for a while
|
Or something to remember
|
A feign and distant smile
|
I bet you plan on staying for a while
|
I guess you plan on staying for a while
|
|
It's kinda frantic
|
We all long to be romantic
|
You try to give yourself away
|
And hope he never leaves
|
But nothing matters
|
When heart goes pitter-patter
|
No sense of uncondition
|
It's me who you deceived
|
|
Ah yeah, a window with a view
|
A present, past and future
|
Wrapped in the gauze of friendship anew
|
And mothers without fathers
|
To help install the colours
|
Wrapped in the gauze of friendship anew
|
|
It's kinda funny
|
Today it might turn sunny
|
The birds are coming back from winter flights away
|
And if you miss them
|
Ah you should wish them
|
A welcome back from both of us
|
And hope that they might stay
|
|
