about

This song was originally titled 'The stupid franchise of love' & was written way back in 2004. You can hear the original version on 'Crescent Summer Sessions' which is much poppier. I'm not entirely sure what the lyrical content is about as it was so long ago!

lyrics

She's always wearing white.
She paints her blue utopia with candlelight.
Her windows are all steamed up.
The catalyst breathes me in.
Her eyes are like fire opals.
And her heart is a machine.

I look through you.
It makes me want to cry knowing what I've done to you.
So translucent.
We danced for the sun.
But how could I know you would leave so soon?

Isn't it funny how things come around?
The ceiling always meets the ground.
The cookie always crumbles.
The shapes of our lives have spiralled and split.
The pendulum's fallen into the pit.
Every grain of sand is the beach.

No-one can shame you.
And no-one can hurt you.
And I talked to you for hours about nothing.
And I missed you when you said you had to go.
And this is all my fault, I should have left.
How could I do this to her after all she's done?
Now she weeps silently.
