Nineteen Lyrics

Nineteen lyrics

Ancient sore oculi

Couldn't see the change

But blissful lights still happen

Through the darkest days



She strokes her hair

In the bathroom sink

It lost volume

It lost the will to give



I gave up

On falling asleep

As the hands began

To shove



Before you've even seen it

The old horizon's gone

Another recollection

Of the blind, deaf summer sun



But eyes are not the be all

And end all of the west

The east may hold a pair now

But maybe just address



The doubts you have

There's no great rush

To make this change



She showed some sense some time ago

When she was happy

She thought that this would make her happier



I've told you for the fifth time

I've told you for the twelfth

I'll give up just when you will

You better warn yourself



You'll get left back

In the cold and rain

And now and again



Balancing your roles

I see you get bogged down

And though you say, it's not good

Your life still lingers on



And so now, little gosling

Don't become a swan



I tried to be so special

And I thought, I was alone

I wanted to be special

But I failed us all



So please, now

Please just trust me

Your life still lingers on

And so now, little gosling

Don't become a swan
