You're my pal, I'm your friend, together we can patch up our loose ends I'm as close as I can get but you're so far away it's that I must confess That I've tried to numb my heart stop it beating before it starts But I can't win I can't climb The barbed wire fence to make a start and untangle my mind Is this the path I chose? Because It's reserved for those Who spend their lives swimming in a goldfish bowl I need to numb the past but it seems too much a task To smash the gla** and throw those gills away If we're alone I can't stand to see you basking on top of my throne But still I'll start to hear you breathe my name you know you're eating up my heart And I'm drinking from your cup but It needs filling up Before long I'll be crawling to your door I need to fill my lungs with air be convinced that I don't care I'll kick myself until I'm forced to linger up Turn the light on show the way Don't out myself of everyday And tell myself I'm someone else and close my ears to what they say
Because I'm wrong you're right I don't need you to tell me when I can hear it every night Disconnect myself from the throng And I'm counting this last time because It's the last time I'll belong and I belong Once I stopped and looked behind and turned to salt and no method could I find To enjoy the here and now it's left me swinging and to stop it don't know how Well it's you I got to know And we watched this friendship grow It just takes a fool like me to light it and watch it burn And I can't say your name and I won't forget my shame I'm not here drowned my phone for good Burn the bridge that crossed your moat It's the only way I'll float In you I find something divine But I'll just look from far away Because I'm wrong your right I don't need you to tell me when I can hear it every night Disconnect myself from the throng And I'm counting this last time because It's the last time I'll belong and I belong I once belonged
