lyrics
wouldn't you be a kiss on the mouth
of the crippling doubt,
the line, no hard feelings
it's ages you're gone, but I see you every day
your bedroom is littered with smooth white figurines
your bed's made up, but the sheets are hardly clean;
a ring on the table that doesn't belong to me
thyme waits on the balcony
for ten thousand cups of tea, cold by now
you couldn't have waited
your brain's too loud
folding your fingers,
and hard eyes shift towards the door
didn't you dream of silky thin pages,
some story that tells all the wild ways of
my perilous heart, which you never read at all
I pinned you on like a medal for bravery
forged ahead, front line cavalry
hunting is miserable when there is nothing to find
I saw you in between salt waters cold and green
but no flowers grow in the ebb and flow
sorry now - why am I sorry?
the words came out tumbling, crashing
you run like hell towards the door
wouldn't you be a kiss on the mouth in a field of doubt
who says there's hard feelings
it's ages you're gone, and it's time for you to go.
