lyrics
Skipping stones on open water wasting time
Revolving door of ditzy, shiny valentines
This city's just a constant drone with some fluoro lights
But you slipped in through the cracks and now you never leave my mind
Drinking tea and watching Return Of The King
I like the way the gates are guarded but they still sneak in
And I don’t get no weekends, only days that I don’t sing
But I’d like to spend my time with you on every one of them
I was saving it for you
Before you cut me out
What am I gonna do with all of my love now?
Hanging on your porch after laying ‘round all day
I like the way you get real close and then you pull away
Waking in the dead of night to a ball of flames
Some kids will burn their boredom down because they’re so afraid
I was saving it for you before you cut me out
What am I gonna do with all of my love now?
Policeman asks me if I’m heading home
I just say “man, I don’t really know”
Pour everything I have into a breathalyser blow
He waves me on says “kid, you’re good to go”.
If there’s honour in defeat I don’t think it’s worth the pain
I’d rather die a coward buried in an unmarked grave
I suppose it all depends on the heights at which you aim
And you’d better take it in the chest if your gonna play the game
From the space between my ribs it keeps on pouring out
What am I gonna do with all of my love now?
Cold hands, warm heart, taxi rides in a dressing gown
What am I gonna do with all of my love now?
What am I supposed to do with all of my love now?
Revolving door of ditzy, shiny valentines
This city's just a constant drone with some fluoro lights
But you slipped in through the cracks and now you never leave my mind
Drinking tea and watching Return Of The King
I like the way the gates are guarded but they still sneak in
And I don’t get no weekends, only days that I don’t sing
But I’d like to spend my time with you on every one of them
I was saving it for you
Before you cut me out
What am I gonna do with all of my love now?
Hanging on your porch after laying ‘round all day
I like the way you get real close and then you pull away
Waking in the dead of night to a ball of flames
Some kids will burn their boredom down because they’re so afraid
I was saving it for you before you cut me out
What am I gonna do with all of my love now?
Policeman asks me if I’m heading home
I just say “man, I don’t really know”
Pour everything I have into a breathalyser blow
He waves me on says “kid, you’re good to go”.
If there’s honour in defeat I don’t think it’s worth the pain
I’d rather die a coward buried in an unmarked grave
I suppose it all depends on the heights at which you aim
And you’d better take it in the chest if your gonna play the game
From the space between my ribs it keeps on pouring out
What am I gonna do with all of my love now?
Cold hands, warm heart, taxi rides in a dressing gown
What am I gonna do with all of my love now?
What am I supposed to do with all of my love now?
