Our favorite game was to count the eyelashes That fell on my cheeks whenever you got a little anxious You said it seems so strange that you can feel all my pain I just smiled and walked away I dreamed of leaving you today Leaving you today
Later that same day
I was still thinking of running away You said my eyelashes reminded you of tiny ribcages You said if we’d saved everyone since this had all begun We’d have 100 sons A hundred sons, 100 sons
I said my dear I think you’re wrong Go and look what we have done We’ve made a whole lot of skeletons But there’s nothing to hold onto
I’ve seen my bones fit together With all sorts of people in all sorts of weather But they have to get up and go, and they have to be on their own On their own
Cause you’ve got the brains and I’ve got the heart Ian Curtis said it would tear us apart But it’s tearing me in two Oh I want to think of you I do I do I do, I do I do I do
But I’m thinking of my bones They want to get up and go They want to be on their own, they want to be on their own
