Can't you see my suffering
Is only needing one small thing
To smile about
Keeping me from sleep in peace
Well my heart beats
Please will you not tear it out
Action speaks the loudest words
So lay you still, you'll stay my girl
Cause you understand
When rested is this bag of bones
And blood pours from this heart of stone
I'll once again be your man
So forgive, forget the stranger
Sleeping in your bed, ain't no danger
No risk, no threat, the enemy lives in my head
(and we're greater than)
All of the best laid plans
Slip through hands like grains of sand
Well not for us, not today
All of the roads that lead
To minds cut up from smoke we breathe
We will walk a different way
We will walk a different way
Another day, another penny
All life's treasures don't cost any
Yet we're not free
And everyone's got their own tale of woe
That's how most stories go, like a tragedy
Truly, madly, deeply need to spend my days
With you beside me
Can't you see
My suffering is only needing
One small thing from you so it can
Fade away completely
So forgive, forget the stranger
Sleeping in your bed, ain't no danger
No risk, no threat, the enemy lives in my head
(and we're greater than)
All of the best laid plans
Slip through hands like grains of sand
Well not for us, not today
All of the roads that lead
To minds cut up from smoke we breathe
We will walk a different way
We will walk a different way
