And I live behind the sofa where the mice have kindly offered
If i clean for them they'll keep me safe enough for now
But i think they're trying to trick me, coz i know they're not that friendly
And their clever traps are hidden by the dirt
It would just be my luck to catch them
Taking yellow from the cracked eggs that i gave them
Empty eggshells remind me of the feeling i'm without you
Now i live inside an oak tree where the owls and bats have made for me
A little place to hide away from you
Now i know they're trying to trick me
Coz the locks they use don't have keys
And the clever traps are hidden by the leaves
And the shelters made of pebbles that you threw up at my window
And i know that every pebble thrown was polished by your tears
And i wish of all the things she said that half of them were true at least
But maybe in a week or two i'll find the other half were too
The other half were true
It would just be my luck to fall through, missing all the life belts
Empty life belts remind me of the feeling i'm without you
