| You fade away, fade to grey
|
| Fade to all of these shades
|
| When sunshine and rain
|
| Smile at the cracks
|
| And you smile for their hacks
|
| And you’re smiling through these days
|
| In an addict’s haze
|
| And you climb on the wall
|
| And you’re not afraid of fall
|
| You’re scared you’ll throw yourself
|
| Over the edge of it all
|
| You prayed for years
|
| And you buried your fears
|
| Now didn’t your mother tell you
|
| We’d all end in tears
|
| You, lie beside me
|
| You, lie in spite of me
|
| You show brave face
|
| And your silver lace
|
| And sugar and spice
|
| And you’re hiding your vice
|
| And you’re star in my sight
|
| And you’re thorn in the sky
|
| And out damn spot
|
| Is the one you forgot to lose
|
| You’re over the wall
|
| And you’re not afraid of fall
|
| You’re scared you’ll throw yourself
|
| Over the edge of it all
|
| You prayed for years
|
| And you buried your fears
|
| Now didn’t your mother tell you
|
| We’d all end in tears for
|
| You, lie beside me
|
| You, lie in spite of me
|
| You, you, lost in twenty-something
|
| Lost in twenty-something
|
| Lost in twenty-something
|
| Lost in twen-ty-some-thing
|
| You, lie beside me
|
| You, you lie in spite of me
|
| You, lie beside me
|
| You, You, you lie in spite of me
|
| In spite of me, twenty-something |
