Maximo Park - Wraithlike lyrics

rate me

<br>Here?s a song that finally you can understand <br>A minor statement meant to counteract the plan <br>A list of wraith-like things that quicken the heart <br> <br>Just another song of faded memory <br>A raison d?etre for the entire family <br>I don?t remember it well <br>I was in love for a spell <br> <br>Copies of ?Sight and Sound? <br>She left lying around on the floor <br>She said I?d forget her voice <br>That?s untrue <br>It?s just not as sharp as before <br> <br>Find some transparent words to give security <br>Another vacant smile that says rely on me <br>No way commitment?s a bore <br>Where have I heard it before? <br> <br>I could?ve sworn that everything was crystal clear <br>But I was shackled by a language of ideas <br>A desert has its own rules <br>Outside the circle it?s cruel <br> <br>Copies of ?Sight and Sound? <br>She left lying around on the floor <br>She said I?d forget her voice <br>That?s untrue <br>It?s just not as sharp as before <br> <br>The final verse is often meant to tie things up <br>But in this case my morals ?ve been most corrupt <br>I don?t remember it well <br>I was in love for a spell <br> <br>Copies of ?Sight and Sound? <br>She left lying around on the floor <br>She said I?d forget her face <br>That?s a lie <br>It?s just not as real as before<br><!-- stopprint -->
