Lyrics
Oh, I am lost in headroom
And lost in fortune, with pictures of you and me
Oh, Madeline, I'm not ready
I'm forever blurring my children into one lost face
I remember what the dance-punk said to us
About "people needing people to the back of the bus"
And yet, I wanted to be so unkind
Now I'm falling apart at your eyes
The dice is broken, and my door is shaking
At the thought of you seeking solitude in the pavement
I wanted to run, but I'm not the same as you
So, Little Miss Patient and Understanding
Had taken great leaps, putting further hand in
Jumping into a world that wasn't her own
And I refuse to call you by your maiden name
Cos you're the happy-go-lucky, well it's such a shame
That what you wanted was gone, but you're still here
So, for what was your wicked smile, my dear?
But now the morning's broken again
You're back to calling me a "friend"
We're breaking hearts in bed
I guess that this is the end
So calling "coward!" in the carpet just to let you breathe
Is not enough to wake the peace I buried underneath
"The meadow's welcome to all!"
They reach down on the floor
I'd wait for bombs to fall
If I can't have you at all
Why reach for truth when the lies wouldn't even make you stay?
(I always said I wouldn't have it any other way!)
That's why you wanted to hear it from me
You were aiming for space, but you're lost at sea
You're assuming the walls of the tried and true
While the locks are gone, to the something blue
(Waiting for a love in the bedroom scene
Madeline Swish in the old gumtree
Waiting for a love that could not be seen
Though I never knew a love 'til it came to me)
(Something wrong, something right
Something twisted in the light
Something old, something new
Something borrowed in the something blue)
And I'd say the pain wouldn't be worthwhile
If it leads to the days with the saddest smiles
You're turning all that I own into dust and bone
With the sound of silence on my phone
I'll make all the right turns just to curb your attack
I will run from this hell and I won't be back
I'll be jumping for joy at the nervous pretense
I'll be sleeping soundly next to my friends
And talk is cheap when you walk like me
Yet you act like a god when you talk to me
And now you're donning your lipstick and smothering pills
As if this heartbreak is giving you time to kill
And I don't even care who you think that you are
Now I'm losing my mind in the back of my car
As I send off your body into the sea
Now, I've lost the lover, you're just like me!
