The Bones of You
So I'm there
Charging around with a juggernaut brow
Overdraft speeches and deadlines to make
Cramming commitments like cats in a sack
Telephone burn and a purposeful gait
When out of a doorway, the tentacles stretch
Of a song that I know, and the world moves in slo-mo
Straight to my head like the first cigarette of the day
And it's you, and it's me
And we're sleeping through the day
And I'm five years ago
And three thousand miles away
Do I have time? A man of my caliber?
Stood in the street like a sleepwalking teenager?
No, and I dealt with this years ago
I took a hammer to every memento
But image on image like beads on a rosary
Pull through my head as the music takes hold
And the sickener hits, I could work 'til I break
But I love the bones of you, that I will never escape
And it's you, and it's me
And we're sleeping through the day
And I'm five years ago
And three thousand miles away
And I can't move my arm
For the fear that you will wake
And I'm five years ago
And three thousand miles away
And I'm five years ago
And three thousand miles away
And I'm five years ago
And three thousand miles away
And it's you and it's me
And we're sleeping through the day
And I'm five years ago
And three thousand miles away
Charging around with a juggernaut brow
Overdraft speeches and deadlines to make
Cramming commitments like cats in a sack
Telephone burn and a purposeful gait
When out of a doorway, the tentacles stretch
Of a song that I know, and the world moves in slo-mo
Straight to my head like the first cigarette of the day
And it's you, and it's me
And we're sleeping through the day
And I'm five years ago
And three thousand miles away
Do I have time? A man of my caliber?
Stood in the street like a sleepwalking teenager?
No, and I dealt with this years ago
I took a hammer to every memento
But image on image like beads on a rosary
Pull through my head as the music takes hold
And the sickener hits, I could work 'til I break
But I love the bones of you, that I will never escape
And it's you, and it's me
And we're sleeping through the day
And I'm five years ago
And three thousand miles away
And I can't move my arm
For the fear that you will wake
And I'm five years ago
And three thousand miles away
And I'm five years ago
And three thousand miles away
And I'm five years ago
And three thousand miles away
And it's you and it's me
And we're sleeping through the day
And I'm five years ago
And three thousand miles away
