Forever Song

We sleep together

While all around us

People kill each other where they lie

They lie together

Till they find someone better

Try to negotiate that slow demise

But I just can't credit

That type of effort for a

Piece of nothing on the edge of a knife

Slices you so thin

You dry like sheets in the wind

Hold a candle behind through you see the light

I want the song I can sing forever

I don't care for structure

Just to know it's mine

I'd hate to see

This thing we've developed

Become your burden or my waste of time

(My waste of time)

The afternoon can bring with it shallow moods

But I'd jump a harbour wall to clear your mind

I quarter the years

You drop the sails till we're clear

I'll look for reefs

You map the stars in the night

And history tells us of worlds we'll know nothing of

Then retrospect becomes a shackle tight

On the ankles of us

Oh, in the future we trust

We cross our fingers like some kids telling lies

I want the song I can sing forever

I don't care for structure

Just to know it's mine

I'd hate to see

This thing we've developed

Become your burden or my waste of time

I wanna know that I know what I'm talking about

Until I do

All the walls seem white

But when I'm sure that I know what I'm talking about

I'll take your burden if you say it's mine

If you say it's mine

If you say it's mine

If you say it's mine
