So, you wish I was your man, and I'd understand
So, you wish I was your man, and I'd understand
Not a surface thing, we could meet down inside
Not a surface thing, we could meet way down inside

You've got a smile that never reaches your eyes
You want to try to do something right
So, take me home tonight
Turn out the light
You're just alone in the dark

So, you wish I was your man, in my consciousness you ran
In my eyes, you swam -- nothing's too much trouble for you
So, you wish I was your man, and I'd understand
So, you wish I was your man, and I'd understand you

You've got a smile that never reaches your eyes
You want to try to do something right
So, take me home tonight
Turn out the light
You're just alone in the dark

There's a city filth that lingers

All over my naked hands
Deep into the weave of the clothes I wear

And every step brings another

Every hour adds some more
Till I'm on the other side leaning on your door
Are the taps running, darling?
Is the air thick with steam?
Can I find some place to cry these tears of shame?

Every step brings another

Every hour adds some more
Till I'm on the other side leaning on your door

There's a smell so sweet it's sickly

It follows me into the room
Hangs in the air like rotting perfume

I never bathe in it, darling

Got down on my hands and knees
Got in so far, I became, well, a part of it all
I've been wading through it
Don't you know it's up to my neck?
And it won't be long 'fore it's over my head
And it's the thought of you in my mind, keeps me...

Thought I knew these streets, and how they turn

Could always find my way home
There's something there, can't leave it alone

The trains they run all night

We could leave everything behind
Just bring that dress you bought when we first met

I know it's faded, darling
I know it's tattered and worn
In that dress, I could never love you more
I've been wading through it
Don't you know it's up to my neck?
And it won't be long 'fore it's over my head
And I can suck it into my love, breathe it in

Wake up, it's all right
You don't have the words, it's okay
I make it worse, if I make it better
I can chase it away
And the emotion running and flapping
Faster and faster, breathing hard
Just for a moment, we're on a breeze
Hold on, hold on tight
You've gone strayed again

Wake up, it's all right
I don't need to know where you've been
Went for a walk, out of my sight

You went astray again

Wake up, it's all right
You don't have the words, that's okay
I make it worse, but I can make it better
Can chase it away

So many times
I said that I love them
Looking over my shoulder at the door
So many times
I can't live without her
The wheel kept turning round
My feeling's changed
I went my own way
What can I say
To make you stay?

Cos in my dreams
They smother all over me
And I'm trying to explain
So many arms
Reach from my memories
Pull all at once
I'm lost amongst
The folds in their skin
I did you wrong
But I'm sorry now
And I'll show you how

If you were here now
You couldn't change
You wouldn't understand
But I'm ready now I'm ready now
I'll make you proud I was your man
And sing a song
But it's so ugly now
And I'll show you how

Cos I'm ready now
I'm ready now
I'm ready now
I'm ready now
Hey I'm ready now

Can we start again?
So many times I said that I loved them
I'm ready now
But I'm ready now
Can we start again?
So many times
I can't live without her
The years was more than I could bear
It's turning round

But in my dreams Can we start again?
They smother all over me I'm ready now
And I'm trying to explain Can we start again?

So many arms reach from my memory
The wheels kept turning round

Love's fading babe
I can see it in your eyes
Your kiss is just the same but it's just a sweet disguise
Ain't like just luck
To worry about me
When we promise to be our world
Love each other for eternity

[Chorus:]
If you're looking for a way out
I won't stand in your way
If you're looking for a way out
Don't stop at the tears that I'm crying
They'll only make you wanna stay
Don't kiss me again cos I'm trying
To keep you from running away

Oh baby tell me I'm wrong
Just say I'm crazy.. it's with me that you belong
It's never easy when lovers have to part
Oh come on stop pretending
Tell me what's in your heart

[Chorus]

Baby don't run away
Baby don't run away
Say that you'll stay

Oh come on stop pretending
Tell me what's in your heart

[Chorus]

Baby don't run away [2x]

Stop pretending [3x]
Please baby now
Stop pretending [3x]
Please baby now
Stop pretending [3x]
Won't you tell me what's in your heart?

Please baby now... stop pretending
Don't you know that I'll always.... stop pretending
Please baby now... stop pretending
Won't you tell me what's in your heart?

Pretty words
Likes ones you've never heard
Oh those pretty words
What can they say?
It felt like the first summer's day
When I heard those pretty words
Oh those pretty words
Oh those...

Pretty words
Like ones you've only overheard
They hang together like pearls
I can't even say
Do you feel so much better now
Now you've heard those pretty words
Oh those pretty words
Oh those...

Oh those pretty words
They hang all around me now
Like a nicotine string of pearls
I'm falling inside them now
When there's a sound you hear
And it feels like everything
And it feels like everything
And it feels like...

You're just such a pretty one
You make everything feel undone
Waiting for those hands to come
Waiting for those hands...

If I could tell you now
Tell you how I feel
Is that so hard
When I saw you
There's so much to leave
There's so much to carry around

Gonna sit now
Gonna sit and watch the night fall
There's nothing more
It takes your breath away
Its all for you
There's so much to carry around

[Chorus:]
But if she's torn
Pull another stitch from me
Give her what she needs and
Pull another stitch from me

It doesn't even stir now
No modestly
You just perform
You cannot burst for joy
It just takes toil
Hard work and toil

Can't tell her how I feel
When all you've got is company
You're sweating now
And pouring down your brow
There's nothing here at all
There's only you
There's so much to carry around

[Chorus]

If I could tell you now
Tell you how I feel
And pull in con after con
Just to hear you breathe
There's so much to leave
There's so much to carry around

Can't feel any better now
Let your children crawl all over me
Like I need to prove I don't deserve you
Anyhow
There's so much to leave
There's so much to carry around

[Chorus]

Just as your eyes are closing
There was something that I meant to say
Like falling from my heart
But I don't know how
Before you close your eyes
I don't know how

[Chorus:]
I never cry for our love
I never cry
I never cry for our love
I never cry

There's no goodbye
These hands have always lived through mine
Now everything I touch I feel I don't know how
Before you close your eyes
I don't know how

[Chorus]

I'm so cynical
It's in my face and
It's just the bird I caught
Leaves its taste hanging round round round

[Chorus]

Just as your eyes are closing
There was something that I meant to say
Like falling from my heart
But I don't know how
Before you close your eyes
I don't know how

[Chorus]

Never cry.... never cry

I've been watching you play
Getting caught
And when you turn your face your eyes are about
To take this heart of mine
And when you stop and stare long
They're so blind and I can't understand
You take this heart of mine
Hey little boy
Do you want the same thing as me
Cos I just feel
A little lonely

I've been wandering round again
Getting lost
It's not safe to be near those eyes
Are enough
To take this heart of mine
And when you stop and stare long
Well I could run if there wasn't a chance
You take this heart of mine
Hey little boy
Do you want the same thing as me
Cos I just feel
A little lonely

It's never going anywhere
It's just running away
Just a step outside of our love
Where's it now
To bring it all back again

There's a certain sound you know
Well I could run if there wasn't a chance

You take this heart of mine
Hey little boy
Do you want the same thing as me
Cos I just feel
A little lonely

She sinks inside me
It's so beautiful
Not hear her calling
And I would raise myself
To live up to her love
And not look down on me
Forgiving me again
And I hear her calling
Do you wanna get out of the water
Do you wanna try and carry on
It gets so low
I get so low

She sinks inside me
It's so beautiful
Not hear her calling
But it's like a waterfall
Falling down on me
Forgiving me again
And I know that loving

[Chorus:]
Like feet that have never been walked on
I know that
Hands that never held no blame
Can't you see that I guess you're staying
Eyes that have never cried angry tears
It's always the same
A face that never felt that shame
Well that's my heart
It's calling out your name

She sinks inside me
There like chemicals
I see the birds fly
And I'd disgust myself
To be free of that love
Pull myself from under the weight of it all
And I hear her, hear her

[Chorus]

I've got to give it up
I've got to give it up

It's just that quality of forgiveness
Forgiveness is what I need
If I could only get out of the water
If I could only get myself clean
I've got to give it up
I've got to give it up

Like feet that have never been walked on
I know that
Hands that never held no blame
I'm running on my knees again
Eyes that have never cried angry tears
It's always the same
A face that never felt that shame

She's standing at the altar
Like feet never walked on
I know that she's waiting there
Like hands never held no blame
If I could only get out of the water
No crying angry
If I could only get out of here
But I've gotta give it up
That felt no shame
I've got to give it up

[Chorus ad lib]
