I could never fall for you
But the tension makes the air so blue
I would never have the time
To watch you every day and night but,
Maybe if I let myself
Come down from this dusty shelf
You're messing with my head again
Got me seeing red again, so
Take me to the place you hide
Where the truth belongs outside
Tell me all I need to hear
All you want and all you fear
Take me to the place you love
Where we fit like heavens glove
Take the pictures off the wall
And make me feel there's nothing more
Though I couldn't ask of you,
Something I could never do
Thought I couldn't ever need
Someone that would make me plead so
Wish that I could pace myself
Instead I could erase myself
A conscience in a big glass jar
I never thought I'd get this far, so
Take me to the place you hide
Where the truth belongs outside
Tell me all I need to hear
All you want and all you fear
Take me to the place you love
Where we fit like heavens glove
Take the pictures off the wall
And make me feel there's nothing more
Do you regret the times you've prayed?
It's not the things you took
But the things that you've thrown away
Still, I knew it all
Take me to the place you hide
Where the truth belongs outside
Tell me all I need to hear
All you want and all you fear
Take me to the place you love
Where we fit like heavens glove
Take the pictures off the wall
And make me feel there's nothing more
Friends Like These
I've fallen in love with a photograph
A moment of youth that I can't get back
The days when you're here it returns again
Emotions that feed on me everyday
And every night I watch it fading
It's safer just to write my whole life down
With every breath the words betray me
It's easier to face the truth
I've taken a vow that I'll make it up
I'll dig in the past and I'll rake it up
Making amends to the friends I miss
Breaking the mould that I'm frozen in
And everyday I know I'm lazy
It's easier to let the good times pass
And now it seems the memory's hazy
It's time for me to face the past
We tell them lies, we do sometimes
We live and die for friends like these
When all is said, we turn instead
And give our lives for what's beneath
And we do sometimes
I'd be a fool to slide again
I'll be like you and try again
I've fallen in love with a photograph
A moment of proof that can't love me back
The way that it cuts at me everyday
The images mock me a melt away
And everyday I feel it clearly
It's easy just to save the worst until last
And maybe I could see it really
It's painful what we do
We tell them lies, we do sometimes
We live and die for friends like these
When all is said, we turn instead
And give our lives for what's beneath
And we do sometimes
We live and die for friends like these
And we do sometimes
