lyrics

I can’t get a rest
From this awful mess
These forces that divide us
In two separate souls
Have a common
Sense of purpose
To keep us out of love
As the weekend often does

You say the time was meaningful
I know, I know I’ve been a bit too cold
As such I’m bound to respect you

My sense is this
We’re waist deep in ifs
A concocted attraction
To give us something to do
While we figure out
What it was
That we should’ve knew

Well a little of this, a little of that
Today is just, just like the last
A little of this, a little of that
I’ll gladly give, everything back
A little of this, a little of that
September’s only one month back
A little of this, a little of that
A little villa’s a memory trap

You’re so on you own
You’ve always been alone
Cause in your dreams you’re seeing things
Without an ounce of control
You’ve learned to accept things
About my psychology
If we wish for different things
We’ll never want to let go

Your sense, your heart, your breath, your name
Your goals, your hopes, your dreams, your pain
Your friends, your job, your words, your past
Your faults, your loss, your first, your last
Your guilt, your shame, your right, your fear
Your call, your lust, you’re wrong, your cheer
Your cells, your blood, your sweat, your soul
Your all, you’re all, your all, you’re all
