A Letter To Elise
Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you say.
I just can't stay here every yesterday,
like keep on acting out the same
the way we act out.
the way we act out.
Every way to smile, forget
and make-believe we never needed
and make-believe we never needed
any more than this, any more than this.
Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you do.
I know I'll never really get inside of you,
to make your eyes catch fire
the way they should.
The way the blue could pull me in
if they only would, if they only would...
At least, I'd lose this sense of sensing
something else that hides away.
From me and you
there're worlds to part,
with aching looks and breaking hearts
and all the prayers your hands can make.
Oh I just take as much as you can throw.
And then throw it all away,
oh I throw it all away...
Like throwing faces at the sky,
like throwing arms round.
Yesterday I stood and stared
wide-eyed in front of you.
And the face I saw looked back
the way I wanted to.
But I just can't hold my tears away
the way you do.
Elise, believe I never wanted this.
I thought this time I'd keep all of my promises.
I thought you were the girl I always dreamed about.
But I let the dream go
and the promises broke
and the make-believe ran out...
So Elise, it doesn't matter what you say.
I just can't stay here every yesterday,
like keep on acting out the same
the way we act out.
Every way to smile, forget
and make-believe we never needed
and make-believe we never needed
any more than this, any more than this.
And every time I try to pick it up
like falling sand,
as fast as I pick it up
it runs away through my clutching hands...
But there's nothing else I can really do.
There's nothing else I can really do,
there's nothing else I can really do at all...
