Lying on my back i feel you breathing
Sucking down the ghosts into your sleep
There`s something in your spine that makes me nervous
And the black that swells between us grows more deep
I cut the world in chords making melodies from words and i`m confused again
Take all this abuse because i ain`t got much to lose
It`s a starry starry night out here on hope street
But hope gives way to hunger when you`re poor
And with pockets full of promises and poems
I know that you ain`t worth much anymore
Spoke in broken time crooked rythyms twisted rhymes and i`m confused again
Paint my world in blue because i`ve never liked to lose
I don`t think i want to spend another night with you
I don`t think i want to spend another day feeling the way you leave me to
Standing in the half light of the morning
I watch the shadows lace across my shoes
There`s something in your voice that makes me nervous
If i can tell we`re lying why can`t you?
The song that`s in my head is playing backwards in this bed and i`m confused again
Seems like i have to choose it feels like either way i lose
