From The Edge Of The Deep Green Sea

The Cure

Every time we do this 
I fall for her 
Wave after wave after wave 
It's all for her 
I know this can't be wrong I say 
(and I'll lie to keep her happy) 
As long as I know that you know 
That today I belong 
Right here with you 
Right here with you... 

And so we watch the sun come up 
From the edge of the deep green sea 
And she listens like her head's on fire 
Like she wants to believe in me 
So I try 
Put your hands in the sky 
Surrender 
Remember 
We'll be here forever 
And we'll never say goodbye

I've never been so 
Colorfully-see-through-head before 
I've never been so 
Wonderfully-me-you-want-some-more 
And all I want is to keep it like this 
You and me alone 
A secret kiss 
And don't go home 
Don't go away 
Don't let this end 
Please stay 
Not just for today 

Never never never never never let me go she says 
Hold me like this for a hundred thousand million days 
But suddenly she slows 
And looks down at my breaking face 
Why do you cry? what did I say? 
But it's just rain I smile 
Brushing my tears away

I wish I could just stop 
I know another moment will break my heart 
Too many tears 
Too many times 
Too many years I've cried over you 

How much more can we use it up? 
Drink it dry? 
Take this drug? 
Looking for something forever gone 
But something 
We will always want? 

Why why why are you letting me go? she says 
I feel you pulling back 
I feel you changing shape
And just as I'm breaking free 
She hangs herself in front of me 
Slips her dress like a flag to the floor 
And hands in the sky 
Surrenders it all

I wish I could just stop 
I know another moment will break my heart 
Too many tears 
Too many times 
Too many years I've cried for you 
It's always the same 
Wake up in the rain 
Head in pain 
Hung in shame 
A different name 
Same old game 
Love in vain 
And miles and miles and miles and miles and miles 
Away from home again
