The Simplest Lesson
Of course I believed it all
Words were passing over your lips
We sat in the park and stared at the water
Passing under the ships
I turned the screw cap on the wine
And drank while you read aloud
In the distance we heard the horns
The perfect cause, a perfect crowd
A smile to match those lips
I thought I heard what they said
Then came the perfect movie ending
With the lovers in bed
On a promise of something great
You slept while I stared at the night
In a week I'd be praying for
A gun to my head and a bed to ignite
Every whisper clips
The top of the trees
Every syllable a lie
Every word you said to me
Will mark-off the hours 'til the day that I die
'Til I die
Every whisper clips
The top of the trees
Every syllable a lie
Every word you said to me
Will mark-off the hours 'til the day that I die
'Til I die
The end to all I thought was right
They'll never be a new dawn
I couldn't learn the simplest lesson
Words aren't worth the spit they're written on
Oh no
Oh no
Words were passing over your lips
We sat in the park and stared at the water
Passing under the ships
I turned the screw cap on the wine
And drank while you read aloud
In the distance we heard the horns
The perfect cause, a perfect crowd
A smile to match those lips
I thought I heard what they said
Then came the perfect movie ending
With the lovers in bed
On a promise of something great
You slept while I stared at the night
In a week I'd be praying for
A gun to my head and a bed to ignite
Every whisper clips
The top of the trees
Every syllable a lie
Every word you said to me
Will mark-off the hours 'til the day that I die
'Til I die
Every whisper clips
The top of the trees
Every syllable a lie
Every word you said to me
Will mark-off the hours 'til the day that I die
'Til I die
The end to all I thought was right
They'll never be a new dawn
I couldn't learn the simplest lesson
Words aren't worth the spit they're written on
Oh no
Oh no
