The Bones Of You Lyrics

The Bones Of You lyrics

So I'm there charging around with a juggernaut brow

Overdraft, speeches and deadlines to make

Cramming commitments like cats in a sack

Telephone burn and a purposeful gait



When out of a doorway

The tentacles stretch of a song that I know

And the world moves in slow-mo

Straight to my head like the first cigarette of the day



And it's you and it's me

And we're sleeping through the day

And I'm five years ago

And three thousand miles away



Do I have time? A man of my caliber stood in the street

Like a sleepwalking teenager I know

And I dealt with this years ago

I took a hammer to every memento



But image on image like beads on a rosary

Pulled through my head as the music takes hold

And the sickener hits, I can work till I break

But I love the bones of you that I will never escape



And it's you and it's me

And we're sleeping through the day

And I'm five years ago

And three thousand miles away



And I can't move my arm

For the fear that you will wake

And I'm five years ago

And three thousand miles away



And I'm five years ago

And three thousand miles away

And I'm five years ago

And three thousand miles away



And it's you and it's me

And we're sleeping through the day

And I'm five years ago

And three thousand miles away
