Tell you baby
I've been waiting
For so long
I want it over
It's pleasant waiting
It's pleasant hating
Placenta fed
Get out of my head
Life's a laugh
When you complain about
The way that I give
All I have to give
You say you want more:
You can't sustain without
You wanna live
But you don't know how
Overthinking,
Smoking and drinking
You're in my head
It's time for bed
One word my lover
I can be hollow
When you say
Goin' away
Cut you in half
See how you feel without
I want you to live
But you don't know how
Am I gone?
I want to be reborn
Thought I was in love
Tell me was I wrong
You know we were wrong together
Ain't it funny, they say it's sunny
And come the cloud:
My inside out
Water bed
In my head
It's pleasant waiting
It's pleasant hating
They say it's fine
And then come the storm
No memory of ever feeling warm
I don't mind
The rain and such
But I miss the warm
The warm of your ....
You know we were wrong together
You know we were wrong together
You know we were wrong together
You know we were wrong together
You know we were wrong together
Together
Together
Together
Together
