Paroles

IN BETWEEN DAYS

Yesterday I got so old
I felt like I could die
Yesterday I got so old
It made me want to cry
Go on go on
Just walk away
Go on go on
Your choice is made
Go on go on
And disappear
Go on go on
Away from here

And I know I was wrong
When I said it was true
That it couldn't be me and be her
Inbetween without you
Without you

Yesterday I got so Scared
I shivered like a child
Yesterday away from you
It froze me deep inside
Come back come back
Come back today
Come back come back
Why can't you see
Come back come back
Come back to me

And I know I was wrong
When I said it was true
That it couldn't be me and be her
In between without you
without you

SMITH

KYOTO SONG

A nightmare of you
Of death in the pool
Wakes me up ap quarter to three
I'm lying on the floor of the night before
With a stranger lying next to me
A nightmare of you
Of death in the pool
I see no further now than this dream
The trembling hands of the trembling man
Hold my mouth
To hold in a scream

I try to think
To make it slow
If only here is where I go
If this is real
I have to see
I turn on fire
And next to me
It looks good
It tastes like nothing on earth
It's so smooth it even feels like skin
It tells me how it feels to be new

It tells me how it feels to be new
A thousand voices whisper it true
It tells me how it feels to be new
And every voice belongs
Every voice belongs to you

SMITH

THE BLOOD

Tell me who doesn't love
What can never come back
You can never forget how it used to feel
The illusion is deep
It's as deep as the night
I can tell by your tears you remember it all

I am paralyzed by the blood of christ
Thought it clouds my eyes
I can never stop

How it feels to be dry
walking bare in the sun
Every mirage i see is a mirage of you
As i cool in the twilight
Taste the salt on my skin
I recall all the teaps
All the broken words

I am paralyzed by the blood of christ
Thought it clouds my eyes
I can never stop

When the sunset's glow drifts away from you
You'll no longer know
If any of this was really true at all

SMITH

SIX DIFFERENT WAYS

This is stranger than i thought
Six different ways inside my heart
And every one i'll keep tonight
Six different ways go deep inside

I'll tell them anything at all
I know i'll give them more and more

I'll tell them anything at all
I know i'll give the world and more
They think i'm on my hands and head
This time they're much too slow

Six sides to every lie i say
It's that american voice again
It was never quite like this before
Not one of you is the same

This is stranger than i ever thought
Six different ways inside my heart
And every one i'll keep tonight
Six different ways go deep inside

SMITH

PUSH

Go go go
Push him away
No no no
Don't let him stay


He get inside to stare at her
The selping mouth
The mouth that knows
The secret you
Always you
A smile to hide the fear away
Oh smear this man across the walls
Like Strawberries and cream
It's the only way to be

Exactly the same clean room
Exactly the same clean bed
But i've stayed away too long this time
And i've got too big to fit this time

SMITH

THE BABY SCREAMS

Heaven
Give me a sign
Waiting for the sun to shine
Pleasure fills up my dreams
And i love it
Like a baby screams

It's so useless
How can you be proud
When you're sinking into the ground?
Into the ground fills up my dreams
And i love it
Like a baby screams

Couldn't ask for more you said
Take it all
And strike me
Strike me dead

Waiting again
Waiting
Like i waited before
Waiting again
Waiting here for nothing at all
Heaven fills up my dreams
And i love it
Like a baby
Screams

Couldn't ask for more you said
Couldn't ever let it end
Take it all
Take it all
And strike me dead

Heaven
Heaven

SMITH

CLOSE TO ME

I've waited hours for this
I've made myself so sick
I wish id stayed asleep today
I never thought this day would end
I never thought tonight could ever be
This close to me

Just try to see in the dark
Just try to make it work
To feel the fear before you're here
I make the shapes come much too close
I pull my eyes out
Hold my breath
And wait until i shake

But if i had your faith
Then i could make it safe and clean
If only i was sure
That my head on the door was a dream

I've waited hours for this
I've made myself so sick
I wish i'd stayed asleep today
I never thought this day would end
I never thought tonight could ever be
This close to me

But if i had your face
I could make it safe and clean
If only i was sure
That my head on the door
Was a dream

SMITH

A NIGHT LIKE THIS

Say goodbye on a night like this
If it's the last thing we ever do
You never looked as lost as this
Sometimes it doesn't even look like you
It goes dark
It goes darker still
Please stay
But i watch you like i'm made of stone
As you walk away

I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night
A witch hunt for another girl
For always and ever is always for you
Your trust
The most gorgeously stupid thing i ever cut in the world

Say hello on a day like today
Say it every time you move
The way that you look at me now
Makes me wish i was you
It goes deep
It goes deeper still
This touch
And the smile and the shake of your head

I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night
Can't stand here like this anymore
For always and ever is always for you
I want it to be perfect
Like before
I want to change it all

I want to change

SMITH

SCREW

When you screw up your eyes
When you screw up your face
When you throw out your arms
And keep changing your shape
Taste the taste in your mouth
Taste the taste on your tongue
On the film on your eyes of the way i've become

What do i do when you screw up your eyes?
What do i do when you screw up your face?
What do i do
When you throw out your arms
Fall on the floor
And keep changing your shape?
Jump right into your mouth?
Jump around on your tongue?

And the film on your eyes of the way i've become
Makes me sick at the way that i try
Anything in the world
To impress that i'm doing this
Only for you

SMITH

SINKING

I am slowing down
As the years go by
I'am sinking
So i trick myself
Like everybody else

The secrets i hide
Twist me inside
They make me weaker

So i trick myself
Like everybody else
I crouch in fear and wait
I'll never feel again

If only i could remember
Anything at all
