THE LIFERS

Lyrics

I told you not to cry, I told you not to speak a word – but have you heard?
That boy is going to dive towards you but be assured, it ends and it dies
I didn’t mean to give my love to one who didn’t want me
I’ve taken up a gamble by just holding your hand; you took all of your chances when you pulled me in
Bending my soul away I stumbled up the stairs in spins
I didn’t mean to take her lover, but her lover, he took me
While all my friends were there, I called you with a drunken invitation just to play a couple songs that we both like
You came and locked your arm in mine and it’s almost like you covered up my eyes
Keep stumbling up the stairs, you pull me by the waist, and you take me down the hall and I’m oblivious to it all
I didn’t mean to give my love away, but he took it out from me
In my parents’ bed,
the clouds in my head -
What happened next?
What happened next?
He took it off,
or did I take it off?
I don’t want to know.
What do I want to know?
And he laid his head
where I laid my head
‘til morning came,
and when morning came
I felt the ghost
and it swallowed me whole
and on it goes
and on it goes
Now I’m trying to give you loving but it’s harder than it seems
‘Cause once it’s took, oh once it’s took,
it’s hard to give, it’s hard to give
I know I should, I know I should,
But it’s all relived.
