lyrics

I can't coax a statue,
so liven up, it's time to make your move.
This cup is almost half full,
drink me down or fill me up right now.
You're sleeping in a bed of lies,
and my tongue is a match to burn it down.
But half of you is not enough,
and all of me is not enough,for you

I know that look in your guilty eyes,
and read it like a pre-hello, a post-goodbye, again.
You can't blame a clock for the tick of time,
so just hold on while it winds you up, and changes everything.

Sing another song, and write another book,
and promise not to call you, by name.
A bed too big, a not too long,
a price we pay, to call this love.
To know you like a fact, to hold you like a flame
and never have to feel the burn, of him.

You can't blame paths for crossing,
and your path is a knot now in mine.
Time it is a thief and,
love will tear us all apart in time.
I know there's someone else but
standing here I can't see through you.

... It's all right, it's not right.

Oh you're eyes are talkin'. ohg my eyes are hearing you just fine.
