Elise, it doesn't matter what you say

You know i'll stay here every yesterday

Like keep on acting out the same

The way we act out

Every way to smile

Forget

And make believe we never needed

Any more than this

Any more than this



Elise it doesn't matter what you do

You know i'll never really get inside of you

To make your eyes catch fire the way they should

To (may?) the blue will pull me in

If they only would

If they only would

At least i'd lose this sense of sensing

Something else that hides away

From me and you this world's to part

With aching moves

And breaking hearts

And all the smiles your hands can take

But i can take as much as you can throw

And then throw it all away

Oh i'll throw it all away

Like throwing faces as the sky

Like throwing arms round yesterday

I stood and stared like stone in front of you

And the way i stared it seemed i looked right out of you

And even the way i stand

I stand away from you

Elise believe me take me away from this

And secretly we'll slip into all our promises

Away from it all in the cover of the night again

And we'll watch the years fall

And we'll dream it all back like we do



Elise it doesn't matter what you say

You know i'll stay here every yesterday

Like keep on acting out the same the way

We act out

Every way to smile

Forget and make believe we never needed any more than this

Any more than this



As fast as i pick it up

It falls away through my clutching hands

As fast as i pick it up

It falls away like falling sand

But there's nothing else i can really do

There's nothing else i can really do

There's nothing else i can really do at all...
