lyrics

Time is tugging on your sleeve, begging for a brief reprieve
From all the running that it’s done in the past four years
Pipes and brick lay all exposed,
Burlesque show of battered holes,
Where the people throw their stones at what they fear

But nothing’s really here, is it?
Passing in the round for your hit of something good
That tells you, yes, you’re feeling the way you should
So won’t you kiss me, and you will see
How important I am to you and all the things that I would do
To calm the chatter that’s rattling within you

My words hang heavy in the air, I nervously arrange my hair
To distract my hands from what they wish to do
A thought is only that until you let it leave the windowsill
Of consciousness out of which you let it pine through

But nothing’s really here, is it?
Passing in the round for your hit of something good
That tells you, yes, you’re feeling the way you should
So won’t you kiss me, and you will see
How important I am to you and all the things that I would do
To calm the chatter that’s rattling within you

Cause I like the colors I paint you in my mind
Burgundies and indigo mixing in with mine
We come to find that all we really needed was a little more time

But nothing’s really here, is it?
Passing in the round for your hit of something good
That tells you, yes, you’re feeling the way you should
So won’t you kiss me, and you will see
How important I am to you and all the things that I would do
To calm the chatter that’s rattling within you
