Paroles de The Good Things Are The Enemy

A subtle breeze wanders through the open window
It's so deliberate that I crave this time last year
When the evening light was shimmering
And you would look so divine
I cannot tell you why...
I want the ground to swallow me whole
I don't want to die but I don't want to grow old
You, you didn't mean to be so severe
But I cannot shake this drug
It's clear to me now

It's just like my father said one night
I've got to get out of my own head sometimes
I wrap myself in thoughts until they smother me
I convince myself the good things are the enemy
Now the nights just linger pointlessly
And all I really want is your company

But now you're barely talking to me
And I wonder if we were ever close at all
I didn't want you to move away
I'm sorry that I couldn't cope
But you know that the distance made me frail
I needed your touch, your scent, your kiss, your smile,
And that beautiful look in your eyes
Now the nights just linger pointlessly
And all I really want is your company
