peripheral
Roses growing by the fence
Cars drive by and slow
(Ooh)
You defy all common sense
And I deny the distant road
(Ooh)
And I'm ushering the house guests out the door
And I'm picking up the pieces of me left on the floor
I keep asking myself what all this bullshit is for
Yet my knees are bruised from begging for more
The joke was all but mine my dear
They made it too literal
I got cupid in my sights
And you creep into my peripheral
(Ooh)
The breath has left my body
And I'm seeing stars
(Ooh)
You're the morning coffee
At cold midnight bars
(Ooh)
And they're ushering the drunkards out the door
And they left me all alone in the middle of the floor
I keep asking myself what all this bullshit is for
But you answer before I can say more
The joke was all but mine my dear
They made it too literal
I got cupid in my sights
And you creep into my peripheral
(Ooh)
Hearing shots, and something was burning
No one forgot the fear emerging
But you're just in the corner sitting and observing
Conscious of my peripheral
I watch the train crash into the station
I scream your name, waking up the nation
And I know I barely know you, and my heart is breaking
But I got you in my peripheral
The joke was all but mine my dear
They made it too literal
Now I got you in my sights
But I'm only in your peripheral
(Ooh)
Cars drive by and slow
(Ooh)
You defy all common sense
And I deny the distant road
(Ooh)
And I'm ushering the house guests out the door
And I'm picking up the pieces of me left on the floor
I keep asking myself what all this bullshit is for
Yet my knees are bruised from begging for more
The joke was all but mine my dear
They made it too literal
I got cupid in my sights
And you creep into my peripheral
(Ooh)
The breath has left my body
And I'm seeing stars
(Ooh)
You're the morning coffee
At cold midnight bars
(Ooh)
And they're ushering the drunkards out the door
And they left me all alone in the middle of the floor
I keep asking myself what all this bullshit is for
But you answer before I can say more
The joke was all but mine my dear
They made it too literal
I got cupid in my sights
And you creep into my peripheral
(Ooh)
Hearing shots, and something was burning
No one forgot the fear emerging
But you're just in the corner sitting and observing
Conscious of my peripheral
I watch the train crash into the station
I scream your name, waking up the nation
And I know I barely know you, and my heart is breaking
But I got you in my peripheral
The joke was all but mine my dear
They made it too literal
Now I got you in my sights
But I'm only in your peripheral
(Ooh)
