Lyrics
And So The Talking Stopped
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.
When the lines leave nothing but my own space
Will you tell me or let me carry on?
Do you see that half of me is all you really need to get it wrong?
How can i explain when you know nothing of this game?
And the rules are only mine to know
Let's go round where the lies and the ties are not bound
Take the bait
And just make sure you give all we can take
We only asked you if you made the grade
You're only wondering now you're in the way
Living on a higher plane where nothing seems to stay the same
I tried so hard i almost made it real
Standing by the field and he is telling me feels it's got to end
And i start to think and i'm heading for the sink
It will take time but he believes we can be friends
So i walk away, i talk away, i'm perfectly rehearsed in every way
Take the bait
And just make sure you give all we can take
We only asked you if you made the grade
You're only wondering now you're in the way
Take the bait
And just make sure you give all we can take
We only asked you if you made the grade
You're only wondering now you're in the way
