Neulander - If You Could lyrics

If you could see him you'd understand why I Reached out my arm and stuck it straight into the fire The heat of the moment, all a-burn with desire Hypnotized by the flame, transfigured by the light If you could see him, you'd see him in the magazine Caught between what was and what might have been On a cheap a**ignment, waiting to be seen Caught up in the hot flame chasing someone else's dream If you could see him you'd understand why I Let him leave a mark on me and never once did try Just let the phone ring another thousand times and When at last he answered it I never said goodbye If you could see him you'd understand how Something as simple as a smile can bring you down and Open up desire til I worship the ground Just another semi-precious j**el in his crown One to the parade of girls he liked hanging around If you could see him, you'd already be drawn If you could see him, you might see yourself there Among the baubles that crawled up on his shelf and Kicked the God Almighty from the land of sad lost dreams Send you riding back to hell, set off walking on your knees If you could see him, you'd understand Why I fell so hard I broke Like a hammer breaks in the steelyard Seeing all the goosebumps rising up into the air See yourself as just another victim Caught up in the great nowhere If you could see him, you'd know why I cared Ran out of the house into the cold night air All burning with desire that had turned to despair Tortured by the way I showed him just how much I cared If you could see him, you'd know he was the one who Spent all of your insecurities and wore all your systems down Filled your head with promises, had you running 'round In a world of insecurities which had long since ceased being any fun And this great wide world no, never will you find You'd already be gone
