I know you're going soon It's ok, I won't freak Can see it in your eyes, you've been moving out for weeks You've found a girl, she's so much prettier than me She's much cleverer than me She's so much happier than me You want a lover who takes time over her looks Not some stupid kid who's always wrapped up in her books But can I help it if a sentence makes me cry? And the pavement makes me cry And the thought of you and I Oh, just leave There's nothing much I want to say But close the door You know how the atmosphere decays my bones I feel the atoms on my skin Oh, I feel the matter closing in From my perch I see the universe as one See the planets in their glory, slowly dancing with the sun See my ancestors in monkey costumes fucking on the rocks See the priestess and her brother and the farmer and his crops All these sacred histories have led to this one day Letras de cancionesWhen you face me on the stairs and say you have to go away And time stops like ice where all around it once was hot So don't begrudge a girl her books cos they're all a girl has got They sit there now The words unflinching in their strength You see I only ever read Cos I wish I was brave as them And I know these words will never leave me standing on the stairs Just like my frozen ancestors they always will be there In print, just like your image on my heart For ever like the planets light the dark Just like our world is waltzing with the sun Just like when this world explodes it makes another one Oh you, just leave I always wanted you to be free But next time you see the planets try and think of me And this moment on a stairway where I thought that I could see All the atoms in your lover, she's much prettier than me And can I help it if an atom makes me cry? I can't help it if she's happier than I From Letras Mania
