<b>Big Black Coffin</b> by <i>Peter Bjorn And John</i><br />

It's comming back the things you said to me,

I'm hiding away from reality

Denying myself all the better parts

Then you slip back and say don't take it hard

And then I find it hard to sleep at all

Wishing I could give someone else a call

Someone that's closer, closer, close to me

Do you know the bar? The way to the bar?

But it's clear and bright now,

from the statements to the lies

From the big black coffin,

to the black under your eyes

But if life is complex, why present a fake?

And when I close my eyes, I still see this face

Looking upon me, still upon me, still...

No competition over ecstasy

Find ebb and tide when you're confronting me

I will admit all of my weaker parts

But I shut up if you don't want my point

My point of view to stand against your own

But I don't need to be put down this way

I'm going down this way, but you can stay

Do you know the bar? The way to the bar?

But it's clear and bright now,

from the statements to the lies

From the big black coffin,

to the black under your eyes

But if life is complex, why present a fake?

And when I close my eyes, I still see this face

Looking upon me, still upon me, still...

And it's black, because I know it will never work for me

And it's black, because I know I don't want us to be

Another opportunity, wasted by all of these Loose-ends,

"they don't know their own best" -friends

And "let's pretends"...
