Lyrics
This time of night I could call you up
I'd get angry with athletic ease
Break common laws in twos and threes
If I die clutching your photograph
Don't call me boring, It's just 'cause I like you
Oh take me on back
Take me on back
And take me back
To the place where I could feel your heart
Is this the end or just the start of
Something really, really beautiful
Wrapped up and disguised as something really, really ugly
Won't you
Come by and see me, I'm a love letter away
I'd break your name before I'd say I really love you, love you
No, I don't care if you saw, I watched every inch of film
Flash across your Roman features
And I loved it, loved it, no I don't care if
You think I'm eager to shut your eyes, well
I'm sorry - everybody knows
You can't break me with your gutter prose
Would you believe it, she sent me a letter
The ring, it nearly weighs her down, she's got another boy, oh boy
Steady your ears, steady your ears and read my lips
Poetry is not a luxury, it's how I'll break this home
And when I'm really ill, won't you cradle me?
Man is not a noble animal, but maybe woman is, remember
I heard you
Inside your room, you said "you'd never really live
Until your back's against the wall," oh did you really mean it?
No, I never break my gaze, if just to see this scar
Remain reflected in your eyes
I think it's time to go home
Oh, tell me your thoughts, tell me your thoughts on liberty
Say there's a place where I sink to sleeping
She said "Oh my vote is as red as my blood"
Will you join me for another round?
I haven't had the chance to speak yet
Godspeed
I break the law once every week to feel your touch
What's a book to you in bed? Do you feel better, older?
Say this just makes me ill, your name is dripping from my pen
Still you're not around to curse
Oh God I'll drop the gun now, say I'm still under you
Marianne, let the ghosts sleep tonight
Marianne, let the ghosts sleep
Just shut your eyes and burn the past
Marianne, let the ghosts sleep tonight
Marianne, let the ghosts sleep
Just shut your eyes and burn the past
Marianne, let the ghosts sleep tonight
Marianne, let the ghosts sleep
Just shut your eyes and burn the past
Marianne, let the ghosts sleep tonight
Marianne, let the ghosts sleep
Just shut your eyes and burn the past away
