After dinner protocol, you kiss me on my cheek
Wrap your arms around me to remind me that you’re free
A taste of mint is in your kiss but your sweetness is in doubt
All those broken promises are draining all your clout
Where you were is where you are or someplace in between
Living all your fantasies while killing off my dreams
Our distance is a blessing till your distance is a curse
You drive me up the incline till I decline in a hearse
You travel here then over there then back again once more
Figure eights and roundabouts then straight back to my door
Unloading all your parcels on my shoulders till they break
Then turn around and walk away to slip out of my gate
Yes I know what you said
but I know what you meant
Yes I know what you meant
cause we’ve been here before
I’m relieved but still can’t breathe while walking through my door
Stand inside with half closed eyes then fall upon my floor
Rolling up but fetal down stare off to nowhere land
Counting all those memories still blowing in the sand
There’s quiet in these hallways but this silence rings so loud
You’re not here but there you are now everything’s in doubt
Pondering my next move as my world spins round and round
Tossing all your baggage that I’ve carried pound for pound
Close my eyes to our bright lights still burning around the rim
Everywhere my solar flares are quickly turning dim
Gray ashes blur my vision but it’s really plain to see
All my senses brighten when you fade away from me
So fade away from me
Don’t fade away from me
So fade away from me
Don’t fade away from me
I really felt this – a great lyric.
That is the greatest compliment!
You’re welcome.
