every time we do this

i fall for her

wave after wave after wave

it's all for her

"i know this can't be wrong" i say

(and i'll lie to keep her happy)

"as long as i know that you know

that today i belong right here with you"



right here with you...



and so we watch the sun come up

from the edge of the deep green sea

and she listens like her head's on fire

like she wants to believe in me

so i try

"put your hands in the sky

surrender

remember

we'll be here forever

and we'll never say goodbye... "



i've never been so

colourfully-see-through-head before

i've never been so

wonderfully-me-you-want-some-more

and all i want is to keep it like this

you and me alone

a secret kiss

and don't go home

don't go away

don't let this end

please stay...

not just for today...



"never never never never never let me go" she says

"hold me like this for a hundred thousand million days"

but suddenly she slows

and looks down at my breaking face

"why do you cry?

what did i say?"

"but it's just rain" i smile

brushing my tears away...



i wish i could just stop

i know another moment will break my heart

too many tears

too many times

too many years i've cried over you



how much more can we use it up?

drink it dry?

take this drug?

looking for something forever gone

but something we will always want...



"why why why are you letting me go" she says

"i feel you pulling back

i feel you changing shape"

and just as i'm breaking free

she hangs herself in front of me

slips her dress like a flag to the floor

and hands in the sky

surrenders it all...



i wish i could just stop

i know another moment will break my heart

too many tears

too many times

too many years i've cried for you

it's always the same

wake up in the rain

head in pain

hung in shame

a different name

same old game

love in vain

and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles

away from home again...
