Lyrics
Modern Soul
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I know a crossroads where I see him (see them)
I want it to be over, I want it to be over
So I swim to you while I'm sleeping
Through sage green rivers of England
I see the scenery changes, changes
I want it to be over, I want it to be over
When I don't think of you, the willpower
What I didn't see was I was talking to so many people at once
I had no idea I was
I had no idea of the difference between
The way I saw your face and the way it was...
Because of a few songs
Because of a few songs
Because of a few songs
Because of a few songs
Because of a few songs
Because of a few songs
Because of a few songs
Because of a few songs
I remember laughing (to take that away from you)
To take that away from you (I remember laughing)
I remember laughing (to take that away from you)
To take that away from you (I remember laughing)
The smaller the waves (you let me down)
No longer I will defend you
The smaller the waves (you let me down)
No longer I will defend you (because of a few songs)
I want it to be over, I want it to be over
I want it to be over, I want it to be over
I want it to be over, I want it to be over
I know a crossroads where I see him, see him
I want it to be over, I want it to be over
I want it to be over, I want it to be over
I want it to be over, I want it to be over
