Head On The Door

six different ways


This is stranger than i thought
Six different ways inside my heart
And everyone i'll keep tonight
Six different ways go deep inside
I'll tell them anything at all
I know i'll give them more and more

I'll tell them anything at all
I know i'll give the world and more
The think i'm on my hands and head
This time they're much too slow

Six sides to every lie i say
It's that american voice again
It was never quite like this before
Not one of you is the same

This is stranger than i ever thought
Six different ways inside my heart
And everyone i'll keep tonight
Six different ways go deep inside

When you screw up your eyes
When you screw up your face
When you throw out your arms
And keep changing your shape
Taste the taste in your mouth
Taste the taste on your tongue
On the film on your eyes of what i've become
What do i do when you screw up your eyes?
What do i do when you screw up your face?
What do i do
When you throw out your arms
Fall on the floor
And keep changing your shape?
Jump right into your mouth?
Jump around on your tongue?

And the film on your eyes of the way i've become
Makes me sick at the way that i try
Anything in the world
To impress that i'm doing this
Only for you

Tell me who doesn't love
What can never come back
You can never forget how it used to feel
The illusion is deep
Its as deep as the night
I can tell by your tears you remember it all
I am paralysed by the blood of christ
Though it clouds my eyes
I can never stop

How it feels to be dry
Walking bare in the sun
Every mirage i see is a mirage of you
As i cool in the twilight
Taste the salt on my skin
I recall all the tears
All the broken words

I am paralysed by the blood of christ
Though it clouds my eyes
I can never stop

When the sunsets glow drifts away from you
You'll no longer know
If any of this was really true at all

Say goodbye on a night
Like this
If it's the last thing we ever do
You never looked as lost as this
Sometimes it doesn't even look like you
It goes dark
It goes darker still
Please stay
But i watch you like i'm made of stone
As you walk away
I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night
A witch hunt for another girl
For always and ever is always for you
Your trust
The most gorgeously stupid thing i ever cut in the world

Say hello on a day like today
Say it everytime you move
The way that you look at me now
Makes me wish i was you
It goes deep
It goes deeper still
This touch
And the smile and the shake of your head

I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night
Can't stand here like this anymore
For always and ever is always for you
I want it to be perfect
Like before
I want to change it all

I want to change

Yesterday i got so old
I felt like i could die
Yesterday i got so old
It made me want to cry
Go on go on
Just walk away
Your choice is made
Go on go on
And disappear
Go on go on
Away from here
And i know i was wrong
When i said it was true
That it couldn't be me and be her
Inbetween without you
Without you

Yesterday i got so scared
I shivered like a child
Yesterday away from you
It froze me deep inside
Come back come back
Don't walk away
Come back come back
Come back today
Come back come back
Why can't you see
Come back come back
Come back to me

And i know i was wrong
When i said it was true
That it couldn't be me and be her
Inbetween without you
Without you
