Double Negative Lyrics
Cold hands and always the last to know.
Long drives and shadows that follow you home.
Too late to find a light on, the tv’s glow.
Dark hallways and a place that you shouldn’t go,
and so, you go.
Alcohol, alcohol.
Take your seats.
Hold your breath until the morning.
Bar the door.
It’s happening now.
I sleep on the floor, seeping into the floorboards,
up the walls, and into the ceiling.
I’m watching the house from every angle now.
I’m watching you sleep so tenderly.
A broken skylight,
a kicked-in door,
all signs that you were here.
A blackened eye.
You’re a big man.
You’re a big man.
You’re such a big man.
Thirty odd years and all I can do is grind my teeth at the memory of you.
A long long drive, longer than before.
Hallelujah, you never looked back.
I never look back.
Long drives and shadows that follow you home.
Too late to find a light on, the tv’s glow.
Dark hallways and a place that you shouldn’t go,
and so, you go.
Hold your breath until the morning.
Bar the door.
It’s happening now.
I sleep on the floor, seeping into the floorboards,
up the walls, and into the ceiling.
I’m watching the house from every angle now.
I’m watching you sleep so tenderly.
a kicked-in door,
all signs that you were here.
A blackened eye.
You’re a big man.
You’re a big man.
You’re such a big man.
Thirty odd years and all I can do is grind my teeth at the memory of you.
Hallelujah, you never looked back.
I never look back.

...those are the lyrics to a deep,deep lake. not double negative.
For the record, the real lyrics to "Double Negative" are:
This, this is the truth I’ve checked all my facts and I’ve got all the proof I need I keep forgetting why I’m here, I keep feeling I shouldn’t be The looks I keep getting, the talk in my ear keeps reminding me. It reminds me how our friendship died, how my presence here is a thorn in your side I keep forgetting why I’m here, it’s because I’m a petty guy who spends his time fabricating useless lies I wanna know why you had to say the things you said, the time you spent inside my head I don’t mind The truth is somewhere in between, hurting you and killing me You are resigned with your shoulders shrugged, a sideways glance, a nodded head, a non-response It’s so unkind The truth is somehow hidden but still hurting you It’s a lie It’s my lovesong to you.
Incredible song.
this is my all time favorite song.
this song gives me the chills
