You wait for a silence
I wait for a word
lie next to your frame
girl unobserved
You change your position
and you're changing me
casting these shadows
where they shouldn't be
We're interrupted
by the heat of the sun
trying to prevent
what's already begun
You're just a body
I can smell your skin
and when I feel it
you're wearing thin
But I've got a plan
Why don't you be
the artist and
make me out of clay?
Why don't you be
the writer and decide
the words I say?
Because I'd rather
pretend
I'll still be there
at the end
Only it's too hard to ask
won't you try to help me
Sat on your sofa
it's all broken springs
this isn't the place for
those violin strings
I try out a smile
and I aim it at you
you must have missed it
you always do
But I've got a plan
Why don't you be
the artist and
make me out of clay?
Why don't you be
the writer and decide
the words I say?
Because I'd rather
pretend
I'll still be there
at the end
Only it's too hard to ask
won't you try to help me
You wait, I wait
casting shadows
interrupted
You wait, I wait
casting shadows
interrupted
You wait, I wait
casting shadows
interrupted
You wait, I wait
casting shadows
Why don't you be
the artist and
make me out of clay?
Why don't you be
the writer and decide
the words I say?
Because I'd rather
pretend
I'll still be there
at the end
Only it's too hard to ask
won't you try to help me
Why don't you be
the artist and
make me out of clay?
Why don't you be
the writer and decide
the words I say?
Because I'd rather
pretend
I'll still be there
at the end
Only it's too hard to ask
won't you try to help me
