Great Bloomers - Admit Defeat lyrics

rate me

Every drop of rain on my tongue

Slips and drips a different tune

Pots and pans that clamor

Through the doorway to your patient room

Elephants in every corner

Smitten by the way you move

Writhe from any pang of disenchantment that I stir in you

Push away the beams of morning

Paralyzed by pleasures unknown

Secret lovers in their fashions

Waste their time all alone

Oh, the march we made along the streets

Set ablaze our orphan eyes with little pine leaves

We all bear a similar stature

Feeling lighter laying on the concrete

Oh, my heedless voice

Be softer still

If there's anything you haven't destroyed

There'll be time to rejoice

Every day that stumbles by

I throw away like a paper plane

Into a dark black cloud where

Hope is sparse and lightning reigns

If we ever make it through

I swear to you, I'll guide us home

To a nest of sheets and springs

Where lovers never sleep alone

Oh, my heavy heart

Find another reason to beat

If I can't find comfort here

I'll leave you and admit defeat
