Somebody get up from this table
Courage to spare and prepositions
Move the silence by two semitones
To invest in flood defences
Every wrongdoing turns the street into a ravine
Paper, poetry once, now rolled into a ball
A newspaper left for us to shelter from the cold
On the railway platform
For as long as I have to stay
I'd be creating waves 1 different from the ones the sea does
For as long as I have to stay
I'd be allowing for the most important instinct
For as long as I have to stay
I won't be finding myself because it'd hurt
For as long as I have to stay
I'll be making efforts but trying to love
Coming back home from a little journey
That I made just to be coming back
I saw ugly men kissing beautifully
Always striving after the Sun
Bearing the burden of this year
(For as long as I have to stay)
Until the next real opportunity
(For as long as I have to stay)
In the eyes of a Christ grown old
(For as long as I have to stay)
The world's end is the solution
For as long as I have to stay
I'd be creating waves 2 different from the ones the sea does
For as long as I have to stay
I'd be allowing for the most important instinct
For as long as I have to stay
I won't be finding myself because it'd hurt
For as long as I have to stay
I'll acknowledge it isn't feasible
For as long as I have to stay
Let Beauty not be surreal
For as long as I have to stay
What you stir up becomes vital
For as long as I have to stay
I'll be making efforts but trying to love
For as long as I have to stay
And then...
(Point is that I do need, need, need you)
And then...
(Point is that I do need, need, need you)
Because for as long as I have to stay
I could be even learning to change my ways
For as long as I have to stay
I'd eventually let you behind the wheel
For as long as I have to stay
I'd be creating waves 2 different from the ones the sea does
For as long as I have to stay
I'd be allowing for the most important instinct
For as long as I have to stay
I won't be finding myself because it'd hurt
For as long as I have to stay
I'll acknowledge it isn't feasible
For as long as I have to stay
I couldn't buy richness
For as long as I have to stay
I'd start off from a major chord 3
For as long as I have to stay
I'll be making efforts but trying to love
For as long as I have to stay
For as long as I have to stay
For as long as I have to stay
It won't be time to matter
1. No allusion to the idea of making waves metaphorically 2. a. b. Ut supra3. Double entendre: I'd start off by striking a huger bargain
