lyrics

Took for longing but it isn't here today,
If I'd had the sense to greet you I would,

Come forever but you know I couldn't stay,
in the hours that defeat you so let's,

Keep a secret buried deep inside our brain,
Without nicety,

Excavated under water under sand,
Don't you get it?

Don't you understand?

You're deferring to an answer that you like,
I say "What a fucking bore",
Carrydemption down to every cellar door,
It's hardly against my will,

I walk around with an hourglass to fill,
With the sands of liberty…

…Is a desert if you're out there waiting still,
Are you still waiting for me?

Cuz I took forever…

Why didn't I see, it looked alright?
Why didn't I see, it felt alright?
Why didn't I fall around now, all the way back to your centre tile?
Why didn't I fall around now, why didn't you just fall around?
