Premier - Scenes From When I Was In Love lyrics
Your rating:
We set the scene An operating room in awe Fluorescent lights, the bleach white walls The tools and instruments look on in amazement Cause I'm just a beating heart on this white tile floor This chest cannot contain me anymore This is the kind of passion that breaks ribs This is the kind of hope that raises pulses And this is what it's like to be alive A suburban street in July And it feels like I'm drowning But it's just the humidity It's just too damn hot in this car with the door ajar Here's my thoughts It's just the dome light It's just the phone line It's just her voice telling me it's alright Just talk to me awhile and baby I'll be fine She sips her coffee once or twice And knows she won't sleep well tonight She holds her cigarette so tight It's like she's holding onto life She sips her coffee once of twice And knows I won't sleep well tonight I'll rest my hand here on her thigh To let her know that I'm alive And when she smiles, I'm alright And when she smiles, I'm alright (There's a tear in her blue jeans that her fingers won't stop tracing And if you don't just leave it be The wound would get deeper darling It's this simplicity that keeps me breathing) A quiet dark bedroom And for the next day or so, my sheets will smell of you She's drifted off to sleep but I can't stop staring Caught in the ins and outs of her breathing And baby we're so fleeting We're beautiful, we're timeless But God, are we fleeting Oh God, are we fleeting She sips her coffee once or twice And knows she won't sleep well tonight She holds her cigarette so tight It's like she's holding onto life She sips her coffee once of twice And knows I won't sleep well tonight I'll rest my hand here on her thigh To let her know that I'm alive And when she smiles, I'm alright And when she smiles, I'm alright (There's a tear in her blue jeans that her fingers won't stop tracing And if you don't just leave it be The wound would get deeper darling It's this simplicity that keeps me breathing) She sips her coffee once or twice And knows she won't sleep well tonight She holds her cigarette so tight It's like she's holding onto life She sips her coffee once of twice And knows I won't sleep well tonight I'll rest my hand here on her thigh To let her know that I'm alive And when she smiles, I'm alright And when she smiles, I could die (There's a tear in her blue jeans that her fingers won't stop tracing And if you don't just leave it be The wound would get deeper darling It's this simplicity that keeps me breathing)
