lyrics

My shoulder moved closer to your voice
My leg white from the winter to your broken record noise
But then you burned your finger, and faced with the choice
I closed my eyes, you didn’t close the door
I closed my eyes, you didn’t close the door

Your eyes wandered up and down the road
Smiles and hopeful laughs on the mountain piles of snow
But then she said “so, what about the girl?” as though
She didn’t know, she didn’t even know
She didn’t know, she didn’t even know

The colour on my cheeks is fading
And I don’t know what to do about it
All I really know is that I’m wasting my time
On you
All of my time
On you

My tongue made weird shapes and said weird words
Things I never thought, things I wondered if I’d heard
So long, farewell, auf weidersehen, adieu
If I had a chance at all it must have been with you
If I had a chance at all it must have been with you

The colour on my cheeks is fading
And I don’t know what to do about it
All I really know is that I’m wasting my time
On you
All of my time
On you
Wasting my time
On you
All of my time
On you
