I really don't know what I'm doing hereI really think I should've gone to bed tonight but..."Just one drinkAnd there're some people to meet youI think that you'll like themI have to say we doAnd i promise in less than than an hour we will honestly go...Now why don't I just get you anotherWhile you just say hello... "
Yeah just say hello...
So I'm clutching it tightAnother glass in my handAnd my mouth and the smilesMoving up as I stand upToo close and too wideAnd the smiles are too brightAnd I breathe in too deepAnd my head's getting lightBut the air is getting heavier and it's closerAnd I'm starting to swayAnd the hands all on my shoulders don't have namesAnd they won't go awaySo here I goHere I go again...
Falling into strangersAnd it's only just elevenAnd I'm staring like a childUntil someone slips me heavenAnd I take it on my kneesJust like a thousand times beforeAnd I get transfixedThat fixedAnd I'm just looking at the floorJust looking at the floorYeah i look at the floor...
And I'm starting to laughLike an animal in painAnd I've got blood on my handsAnd I've got hands in my brainAnd the first short retchLeaves me gasping for moreAnd I stagger over screamingOn my way to the floorAnd I'm back on my backWith the lights and the lies in my eyesAnd the colour and the music's too loudAnd my head's all the wrong sizeSo here I goHere I go again...
Yeah I laugh and I jumpAnd I sing and I laughAnd I dance and I laughAnd I laugh and I laughAnd I can't seem to thinkWhere this isWho I amWhy I'm keeping this goingKeep pouring it outKeep pouring it downKeeping it goingKeep pouring it downAnd the way the rain comes down hard...That's the way I feel inside...
I can't take it anymoreThis it I've becomeThis is it like I getWhen my life's going numbI just keep moving my mouthI just keep moving my feetI say I'm loving you to deathLike I'm losing my breathAnd all the smiles that I wearAnd all the games that I playAnd all the drinks that I mixAnd I drink until I'm sickAnd all the faces I makeAnd all the shapes that I throwAnd alll the people I meetAnd all the words that I knowMakes me sick to the heartOh I feel so tired...
And the way the rain comes down hard...That's how I feel inside...

When I see you sky as a kiteAs high as I mightI can't get that highThe how you moveThe way you burst the cloudsIt makes me want to try
When I see you sticky as lipsAs licky as tripsI can't lick that farBut when you poutThe way you shout out loudIt makes me want to startAnd when I see you happy as a girlThat swims in a world of magic showIt makes me bite my fingers throughTo think I could've let you go
And when I see youTake the same sweet stepsYou used to takeI say I'll keep on holding youMy arms so tightI'll never let you slip away
And when I see you kitten as a catYeah as smitten as thatI can't get that smallThe way you furThe how you purrIt makes me want to paw you allAnd when I see you happy as a girlThat lives in a world of make-believeIt makes me pull my hair all outTo think I could've let you leave
And when I see youTake the same sweet stepsYou used to takeI know I'll keep on holding youIn arms so tightThey'll never let you go

He waits for her to understandBut she won't understand at allShe waits all night for him to callBut he won't call anymoreHe waits to hear her say ForgiveBut she just drops her pearl-black eyesAnd prays to hear him say I love youBut he tells no more lies
He waits for her to sympathizeBut she won't sympathize at allShe waits all night to feel his kissBut always wakes aloneHe waits to hear her say ForgetBut she just hangs her head in painAnd prays to hear him say No moreI'll never leave again
How did we get this far apart?We used to be so close togetherHow did we get this far apart?I thought this love would last forever
He waits for her to understandBut she won't understand at allShe waits all night for him to callBut he won't callHe waits to hear her say ForgiveBut she just drops her pearl black eyesAnd prays to hear him say I love youBut he tells no more lies
How did we get this far apart?We used to be so close togetherHow did we get this far apart?I thought this love would last forever

Every time we do thisI fall for herWave after wave after waveIt's all for her"I know this can't be wrong" I say(And I'll lie to keep her happy)"As long as I know that you knowThat today I belong right here with you"
Right here with you...
And so we watch the sun come upFrom the edge of the deep green seaAnd she listens like her head's on fireLike she wants to believe in meSo I try"Put your hands in the skySurrenderRememberWe'll be here foreverAnd we'll never say goodbye... "
I've never been soColourfully-see-through-head beforeI've never been soWonderfully-me-you-want-some-moreAnd all I want is to keep it like thisYou and me aloneA secret kissAnd don't go homeDon't go awayDon't let this endPlease stay...Not just for today...
"Never never never never never let me go" she says"Hold me like this for a hundred thousand million days"But suddenly she slowsAnd looks down at my breaking face"Why do you cry?What did I say?""But it's just rain" I smileBrushing my tears away...
I wish I could just stopI know another moment will break my heartToo many tearsToo many timesToo many years I've cried over you
How much more can we use it up?Drink it dry?Take this drug?Looking for something forever goneBut something we will always want...
"Why why why are you letting me go" she says"I feel you pulling backI feel you changing shape"And just as I'm breaking freeShe hangs herself in front of meSlips her dress like a flag to the floorAnd hands in the skySurrenders it all...
I wish I could just stopI know another moment will break my heartToo many tearsToo many timesToo many years I've cried for youIt's always the sameWake up in the rainHead in painHung in shameA different nameSame old gameLove in vainAnd miles and miles and miles and miles and milesAway from home again...

"You look like you could do with a friend" she said"You look like you could use a handSomeone to make you smile" she said"Someone who can understandShare your troubleComfort youHold you closeAnd I can do all of these...I think you need me here with you"
"You look like you could do with a sister" she said"You look like you need a girl to call your own... like...Fabulous! Fabulous!Call me Fabulous!"And rubbing her hands so slow"You stare at me all strange" she said"Are you hungry for more?""I've had enough" I said"Please leave me alonePlease go"
It doesn't touch me at allIt doesn't touch me at all
"You know that you could do with a friend" she said"You know that you could use a wordLike feel or follow or fuck" she saidAnd laughing away as she turned"You're everything but no-oneLike the last man on earth""And when I die" I saidI'll leave you it all"Door closes...Leaves me cold
It doesn't touch me at allIt doesn't touch me at all

Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you sayI just can't stay here every yesterdayLike keep on acting out the sameThe way we act outEvery way to smileForgetAnd make-believe we never neededAny more than thisAny more than this
Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you doI know I'll never really get inside of youTo make your eyes catch fireThe way they shouldThe way the blue could pull me inIf they only wouldIf they only wouldAt least I'd lose this sense of sensing something elseThat hides awayFrom me and youThere're worlds to partWith aching looks and breaking heartsAnd all the prayers your hands can make
Oh I just take as much as you can throwAnd then throw it all awayOh I throw it all awayLike throwing faces at the skyLike throwing arms roundYesterdayI stood and staredWide-eyed in front of youAnd the face I saw looked backThe way I wanted toBut I just can't hold my tears awayThe way you do
Elise... believe I never wanted thisI thought this time I'd keep all of my promisesI thought you were the girl I always dreamed aboutBut I let the dream goAnd the promises brokeAnd the make-believe ran out...
Oh EliseIt doesn't matter what you sayI just can't stay here every yesterdayLike keep on acting out the sameThe way we act outEvery way to smileForgetAnd make-believe we never neededAny more than thisAny more than this
And every time I try to pick it upLike falling sandAs fast as I pick it upIt runs away through my clutching handsBut there's nothing else I can really doThere's nothing else I can really doThere's nothing elseI can really doAt all...

If only you'd ever speak to meThe way you once didLook at me the way you once didPull to me the way you once didBut you don'tYou don't feel anymoreYou don't care anymoreIt's all goneIt's all gone
