You could open with your failings Make them understand, show the love notes Make them picture with their eyes closed Make them wonder where the time goes Keep your distance south of river Draw a line, they're not together Make it screech, stop, wait, turn red Make me wonder where the time went You'll not save me a stand-off Be not a stranger land here I will leave this empty-handed Feeling selfish, common as shit Leave me questionwhere your heart lands How you open-wounded withstand Lead me into some false pretence I'll ruin you in a second Leave it up to interpretation Open-ended invitation And your wedding, I could crash it Whisper in your ear: God, I missed you It's been too much, I can't stand it Then I cried, there, in the staff room Selling my seats to your concert I won't stomach it if I see you Walking so tall, I can't reach you Happier, pretty picture With some new pretty little blue You will not save me a standoff You will not save me a standoff
