Sex & then what?
Can you hear the rain falling
hear the sound of cars that's passing
hear the footsteps, on the ground
Can you hear the house phone ringing
the absence of children running
hear the emptiness, that's oh so loud
*pre chorus
Last night you promised me
promised me forever
Last night you said that we
would always be together
*chorus
"Lets have sex" and then what, baby?
you left too early to tell
"Lets have sex" and then what, sweetheart?
leave me here in this hell
with echoes for my company
and the mess you left behind for me to see
"lets have sex" and then what, baby?
I close my eyes and all i can see
is memories that seem to fill me
every touch and kiss, that set me free
I can hear our clinking glasses
taste the sweetness of our kisses
hear your words, which i believed
*pre chorus, chorus
*bridge
you left me here, all by myself
are you happy?
touching every surface that you touched
it vibrates through me
could it be, that i fell in love
oh! my stupidity!
*chorus
The CD keeps on playing
the ice cubes in our glasses melting
the lipstick stain, that i left there
the lovebite on my shoulder
is it me, or is it colder?
evidence, it wasn't a dream
why'd you leave after what you promised?
i can't believe i never saw this
your familiar scent, that lingers here
"lets have sex" and then what, baby?
you left too early to tell
"lets have sex" and then what, sweetheart?
leave me here in this hell
"lets have sex" and then what, baby?
"lets have sex" and then what, baby?
The library
Shelves of books,
movement in the stillnes
muffled giggles and
the turning of pages
Do you remember?
Do the memories hit you
like they hit me?
Every corner, every shadow
everything about this place,
rings with the painful reminder
of you.
Of us
Distracted studying in the cafe,
hours pouring over books we oughtn't read
Lovebites & toyed emotions
in the shadows between shelves where no one could see
Promises of forever
sunken against plush pillows
Notes full of "i love you"
pushed across the table
Breathing in just the scent,
familiar yet new
Allowing everything to wash over me
feeling naked in absolute full view
Where are you now?
what have we become?
The library's a library again,
& i watch those younger couples sneak off,
to do what we once did
Should i have?
was it no more than a mistake?
Giving myself to you
when i did
Foolish perhaps,
yet not a moment i regret
I stand back here again,
to feel the memories fill me
To take in the shelves of books,
the stillnes found in movement
The ring of each knife-like step
with the reminder of you
I wish you love
I wish you love,
for the rest of the year
Love to pull you through
I wish you love
in each & every circumstance
Love that's pure and true
Though love can hurt
& tear you apart
please don't give up just yet
Even when the tears arrive
and the stars cease to shine
Love brings you through all of that
I wish you love,
blissful and happy
Love to brighten your nights
I wish you love
sweet and sappy
To be your undying light
I wish you love
love that isn't mine
for you're not my valentine
I wish you love
too wonderful for words
Love that takes you to the sky
I wish you love
not just on this day,
But the rest of your life as well
I wish you love
so beautifully real
that's sure to freeze over hell
