Lyrics

[00:09.47] The little thoughts came rushing in
[00:12.48] While I watched for a sign from him
[00:16.78] When all the while was clear as day
[00:20.96] That I should go and he should stay
[00:25.49] Feist :
[00:26.02] I took his love like it was mine
[00:27.49] I squeezed the truth until it lied
[00:33.72] It took some time for cracks to show
[00:35.89] Should I stay or should he go?
[00:46.82] Jane :
[00:46.98] The simple story that you told me
[00:54.44] Is a little different from what you showed me
[01:03.30] The simple story, unfurling slowly
[01:11.66] Is if you lay down with a dream
[01:15.89] You'll wake up lonely
[01:21.79] Feist :
[01:22.05] The fog will cast a certain shade
[01:25.20] So what you see is how what's made
[01:29.39] it's mark will show you what to do
[01:33.63] When hope pretends it's made you new
[01:43.78] Love lied love lied but I'm the reason
[01:52.24] Love lied
[01:54.85] Jane :
[01:55.10] The simple story that you told me
[02:02.61] Is a little different from what you showed me
[02:24.88] Feist :
[02:25.26] The sky wraps round the mountaintops
[02:29.41] Jane :
[02:29.66] The watch unwinds until it stops
[02:34.01] Some things will always be the way they are
[02:37.97] Feist :
[02:38.20] And that is how they'll stay
[02:46.03] Jane :
[02:46.26] The simple story that you told me
[02:54.43] Is a little different from what you showed me
[03:03.21] The simple story, unfurling slowly
[03:11.61] Is if you lay down with a dream
[03:16.31] You'll wake up lonely
[03:22.23] nice 1
