Paris (live)

Yes i know who you remind me of
A girl i think i used to know
Yes i'd see her when the day got colder
On those days when it felt like snow
You know i even think that she stared like you
She used to just stand there and stare
And roll her eyes right up to heaven
And make like i just wasn't there

And she used to fall down a lot
That girl was always falling
Again and again
And i used to sometimes try to catch her
But i never even caught her name

And sometimes we would spend the night
Just rolling about on a floor
And i remember
Even though it felt soft at the time
I always used to wake up sore

You know i even think that she smiled like you
She used to just stand there and smile
And her eyes would go all sort of far away
And stay like that for quite a while

And i remember she used to fall down a lot
That girl was always falling
Again and again
And i used to sometimes try to catch her
But i never even caught her name

Yes i sometimes even tried to catch her
But i never even caught her name

Whenever i'm alone with you you make me feel
Like i am home again whenever i'm alone with
You you make me feel like i am whole again
Whenever i'm alone with you you make me feel
Like i am young again whenever i'm alone with
You you make me feel like i am fun again

However far away i will always love you however
Long i stay i will always love you whatever
Words i say i will always love you i will always
Love you

Whenever i'm alone with you you make me feel
Like i am free again whenever i'm alone with
You you make me feel like i am clean again

However far away i will always love you however
Long i stay i will always love you whatever
Words i say i will always love you i will always
Love you

I play at night in your house
I live another life
Pretending to swim
In your house
I change the time in your house
The hours i take
Go so slow ...
I hear no sound in your house
Silence
In the empty rooms
I drown at night in your house
Pretending to swim
Pretending to swim

The sharp and open
Leave me alone
And sleeping less every night
As the days become heavier and weighted
Waiting
In the cold light
A noise
A scream tears my clothes as the figurines tighten
With spiders inside them
And dust on the lips of a vision of hell
I laughed in the mirror for the first time in a year^
A hundred other words blind me with your purity
Like an old painted doll in the throes of dance
I think about tomorrow
Please let me sleep
As i slip down the window
Freshly squashed fly
You mean nothing
You mean nothing

I can lose myself in chinese art and american girls
All the time
Lose me in the dark
Please do it right
Run into the night
I will lose myself tomorrow
Crimson pain
My heart explodes
My memory in a fire
And someone will listen
At least for a short while

I can never say no to anyone but you

Too many secrets
Too many lies
Writhing with hatred
Too many secrets
Please make it good tonight
But the same image haunts me
In sequence
In despair of time

I will never be clean again
I touched her eyes
Pressed my stained face
I will never be clean again
Touch her eyes
Press my stained face
I will never be clean again
I will never be clean again
I will never be clean again
I will never be clean again

I've waited hours for this
I've made myself so sick
I wish i'd stayed asleep today
I never thought that this day would end
I never thought that tonight could ever be
This close to me
Just try to see in the dark
Just try to make it work
To feel the fear before you're here
I make the shapes come much too close
I pull my eyes out
Hold my breath
And wait until i shake

But if i had your faith
Then i could make it safe and clean
If only i was sure
That my head on the door was a dream

I've waited hours for this
I've made myself so sick
I wish i'd stayed asleep today
I never thought that this day would end
I never thought that tonight could ever be
This close to me

But if i had your face
I could make it safe and clean
If only i was sure
That my head on the door
Was a dream

All the faces
All the voices blur
Change to one face
Change to one voice
Prepare yourself for bed
The light seems bright
And glares on white walls
All the sounds of charlotte sometimes
Into the night
With charlotte sometimes
Night after night she lay alone in bed
Her eyes so open to the dark
The streets all looked so strange
They seemed so far away
But charlotte sometimes did not cry
The people seemed so close
Playing expressionless games
The people seemed so close
So close
So many
Other names

Sometimes i'm dreaming
Where all the other people dance
Sometimes i'm dreaming
Charlotte sometimes
Sometimes i'm dreaming
Expressionless the trance
Sometimes i'm dreaming
So many different names
Sometimes i'm dreaming
The sounds all stay the same
Sometimes i'm dreaming
She hopes to open shadowed eyes
On a different world
Come to me
Scared princess
Charlotte sometimes

On that bleak track
(see the sun is gone again)
The tears were pouring down her face
She was crying and crying for a girl
Who died so many years before...

Sometimes i dream
Where all the people dance
Sometimes i dream
Charlotte sometimes
Sometimes i dream
The sounds all stay the same
Sometimes i'm dreaming
There are so many different names
Sometimes i dream
Sometimes i dream...

Charlotte sometimes crying for herself
Charlotte sometimes dreams a wall around herself
But it's always with love
With so much love it looks like
Everything else
Of charlotte sometimes
So far away
Glass sealed and pretty

Elise, it doesn't matter what you say
You know i'll 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
Any more than this
Any more than this

Elise it doesn't matter what you do
You know i'll never really get inside of you
To make your eyes catch fire the way they should
To (may?) the blue will 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 this world's to part
With aching moves
And breaking hearts
And all the smiles your hands can take
But i can take as much as you can throw
And then throw it all away
Oh i'll throw it all away
Like throwing faces as the sky
Like throwing arms round yesterday
I stood and stared like stone in front of you
And the way i stared it seemed i looked right out of you
And even the way i stand
I stand away from you
Elise believe me take me away from this
And secretly we'll slip into all our promises
Away from it all in the cover of the night again
And we'll watch the years fall
And we'll dream it all back like we do

Elise it doesn't matter what you say
You know i'll 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 any more than this
Any more than this

As fast as i pick it up
It falls away through my clutching hands
As fast as i pick it up
It falls away like falling sand
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...
