Melt 04:06
I had the most beautiful dream Blue skies, bodies rising From the lakes I love, with the face of those I'd lost It swept me off my feet Elated, I could breathe I sunk my hands in grass, felt the sun across my arms You make me Now the sun has all died down And the bodies wonder around I can't move, so I just sleep Let their voices speak to me You make me

It's hard to put into words I called you, and I thought you were laughing And I hoped you would But to be the one Who did the deed, who broke your heart and broke the news I played pretend But I looked her up every day and felt the end Do you walk circles, and hope to find answers in infinite ends? I never thought one day I'd be writing senseless words for this affair I felt a lump in my throat Thought I would throw up And my mother looked at me as if she didn't know me And the days go and and people move And sometimes I just sit and feel like I'm in a movie Do you watch, and hope to one day find a way to pause and rewind it? I never thought one day I'd be writing senseless words for this affair I never thought there'd be a day, I'd be writing senseless words for this affair

It's been so long since I read a book I cried in the first few lines I read the words and they weren't that sad But it's just been years since I've held them in my hand I stared out the window Tried to sing along, lump in my throat I wish I could explain that feeling But as I do my eyes start tearing And a kid I hardly know died With my head on my mum, I cry It's in every song that I write And, for what? It's been days since I left my room They say that's why I'm feeling blue I just can't move I feel so tired And at night I can't sleep until I cry And a kid I hardly know died With my head on my pillow, I cry It's in every song that I write And, for what? I can't go to the funeral, it just seems so unjust In fact I heard from all your friends that you hated my guts I can't go on another day without thinking I must I need to step outside and take a breath from my And a kid I hardly know died With my head on my lap, I cry It's in every song that I'll write And, for what?

Every time I saw you walk down the street Staring at your feet, yet somehow staring at me Instead of nodding and waving, I would just look away Thought there'd be another day More time for me to say "Well I heard you had the blues Is there something I can do? What a shame you had to lose Now these words are all for you" You remind me death is around the corner When I spoke to the coroner He didn't have much to say, except "I heard you had the blues Is there something I can do? What a shame you had to lose Now these words are all for you" Saw you laughing in the bar Heard you broke down in the car Watched in the crowd at my show from afar Told me you just knew what I meant in my song Used to smile and stay for every word He would try to make you feel more heard I'm one to know that these times can be tough I guess for you it just wasn't enough Thought of your name when I walked on the shore Last time I was here, had to shelter your storm I can't seem to shake all of the time you had scorned I wrote you a song, but here's one more
