It's coming back the things you said to me
I'm hiding away from reality
Denying myself all the better parts
Then you slip back and say "Don't take it hard"
And then I find it hard to sleep at all
Wishing I could give someone else a call
Someone that's closer, closer, close to me
Forgetting someone might come over me
Do you know the bar?
The way to the bar?
But it's clear and bright now
From the statements to the lies
From the big black coffin
To the black under your eyes
But if life is complex
Why please anything?
And when I close my eyes
I still see this face
Looking upon me
Still upon me
Still
No competition over ecstasy
Find ebb and tide when you're confronting me
I will admit all of my weaker parts
But I'll shut up if you don't want my point
My point of view to stand against your own
Perhaps you're better off on your own
But I don't need to be put down this way
I'm going down this way but you can stay
Do you know the bar?
The way to the bar?
And it's clear and bright now
From the statements to the lies
From the big black coffin
To the black under your eyes
But if life is complex
Why please anything?
And when I close my eyes
I still see this face
Looking upon me
Still upon me
Still
And it's black because I know you'll never work for me
And it's black because I don't want us to be
Another opportunity
Wasted by by analogies
Losing staples of your best friends and 'let's pretend'
And it's clear and bright now
From the statements to the lies
From the big black coffin
To the black under your eyes...
Eyes...
Ooh...
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
I love this song, too... totally about unrequited love, but it makes it feel really fresh and original.
These are the lyrics the way I hear them
