Bitten by the wind on a hard, hard day And god, I really want you to stay Bitten by tears and a burning fear That has smeared us both on the table There are too many people in this street There are too many eyes to meet
So I'll hold your wrist and I'll feel you listless Shaking on the edge of your seat
Oh, hide me safe away I wanna see myself painted an invisible grey Now feed me to the years And I will make myself harmless as a drawn-on tear And please, don't hold me in your soul like a heavy stone I am carrying my cold heart home
Trapped by a breath and it hit my head Like a thousand bricks from the sky And I saw you choke as the last bridge broke And our fingers waved goodbye And there are too many clowns stumbling by And there are too many hands to untie
So I leave it there by the tin can chairs And the pavement swallows our lies
Oh, hide me safe away I wanna see myself painted an invisible grey Now feed me to the years And I will make myself harmless as a drawn-on tear And please, don't hold me in your soul like a heavy stone
I am carrying my cold heart...
Your face has followed me home With unwanted grace I leave you lonely and We would never make a perfect piece to fit We will remain unfinished puzzles as we sit
Hide me safe away I wanna see myself painted an invisible grey Now feed me to the years And I will make myself harmless as a drawn-on tear And please, don't hold me in your soul like a heavy stone
