This house is too damn predictable
I see the migraine before it comes on
The heartbroken cries in these sticky walls
Footsteps on rustling leaves
That constant echo leaves me wanting to
Slip away to a lonely hotel room
Slip away to a New York view in winter
Those train rides through our old playground
Are memories we keep on replay
A taxi waiting outside patiently
Now all I see is sweeping black rock
Haunted by the past, all the mistakes I harbour
The peroxide in your hair
A mother\'s guilt is an apocalypse
I see her ghost in the mirror, at my wits\' end
We crashed into the thunder, into this ceaseless ocean
Reverberating doldrums
At the opera, at the cinema
My head buried in a magazine, spent the day cleaning
Just to make the place gleam for you
He said, \"Keep my love forever and never give it away\"
This world was never beautiful to me
In a wistful tone, I replied as softly as I could
And I seen the pity flourishing in his eyes, sorry for himself
I get drunk and slow dance to my favourite song
You get drunk and fucking ramble, oh, I know you so well
We\'re talking until it\'s late
You put your feet on the table and I smile, knowing
The lanterns will guide us through the sea
But if you\'re gone by the time I make it back
Then know, this is goodbye
I look up at the sky, my eyes looking at the sky
My cold breath is drifting away
You\'re the flint and I\'m the spark
You\'ve made a sinner out of me, a vague flash of porn
The radio plays, the same old song
And I feel just like trash
When you\'re not here to sing along
I think of all my regrets, the times I acted on impulse
Thinking I wanted this, you make love to me then leave me
I know you don\'t need me
I know you don\'t need me.
