|
the tide came in and nearly buried us here |
|
but we saw things like they wouldn't believe |
|
you hear a lot of stories about love and romance |
|
but i swear nothing quite like you and me |
|
and every scar sits like a marker |
|
every line on the face is a small souvenir |
|
of all the places be they good or be they bad |
|
that we stopped into on the journey to here |
|
so maybe i lost my sense of direction |
|
but im alright now |
|
every man needs a little affection |
|
and im alright now |
|
and there were times when yes alright i confess |
|
i did things of which i am not proud |
|
everybody wades through the same coloured shit |
|
but it doesn't drag everyone down |
|
and i was stupid i was insensitive |
|
i was all the things i promised i never would be |
|
ive seen a lot of foolish behaviour in my time |
|
but tell you theyve got nothing on me |
|
so maybe i lost my sense of direction |
|
but i'm alright now |
|
every man needs a little affection |
|
so im alright now |
|
give me strength give me something to believe in |
|
and im alright now |
|
sing along when your hearts finished bleeding |
|
yes im alright now |
|
another evening of sublime self-destruction |
|
to the tune of 1000 cigarettes |
|
where every nail thats hammered into your spirit |
|
well it wasnt able to sink you just yet |
|
and television is just some weak anaesthetic |
|
to numb the senses til you're out like a light |
|
like all these drugs they seem to promise you the earth |
|
but then they dont keep you warm in the night |
|
so maybe i lost my sense of direction |
|
but im alright now |
|
every man needs a little affection |
|
so im alright now |
|
give me strength give me something to believe in |
|
and im alright now |
|
sing along when your hearts finished bleeding |
|
yes im alright now |
|
its like i cannot sleep for dreaming |
|
this is everything i could have possibly hoped it would be |
|
a lot of stories will end happy ever after |
|
but i swear nothing quite like you and me |
