lyrics

There’s a synonym, more beautiful,
Than the words I can find to describe,
The face thats hidden, under the hair,
On the pillow, near the one that I’m on.

You meet questions, with an ease,
To fall upon your feet.
Undo the laces, on your leather shoes,
They’ll look new until you leave.

If you’re wondering just why we are here,
Listen Closely.
I’ll remind you of all of the things that you are fond of.

You’re on the third rung, not even half way,
With your eyes set on a new height.
Your eyes, they flicker, with a green touch,
As you stare me our solution.

If you’re wondering just why we are here,
Listen Closely.
I’ll remind you of all of the things that you are fond of.

If you lead a lonely life, let your love know,
When you leave your lonely life, let your love grow.

There’s a message coming down from the rooftops,
Could you let me down to sleep in my bed,
I am tired, did you hear what I said?
There’s distance between us, we’ll take distance instead,
Of time, till then I’ll talk to the wall,
Cause she never needed to be up there at all.

If you lead a lonely life, let your love know,
When you leave your lonely life, let your love grow.
