Providence movie - Linger lyrics

rate me

Song by Jonatha Brooke<br /><br>

I am walking past the sprinklers and the newly painted porches<br>

And the lemonade stand girls on a suburban afternoon<br>

I am leaving cuz I love you, I am leaving cuz I don't<br>

And I am hoping you will follow, and I'm praying that you won't <br>

Let me go <br>

<br>

I am captive in your presence I will melt before your eyes<br>

But I still crave your approval, and I'm helpless when you criticize, criticize <br>

<br>

Cuz it's written on your body -- it's on the tip of your tongue<br>

The look in your eyes, in the glare of the sun<br>

The touch of your cold fingers, when you say goodbye<br>

The way that you linger<br>

The way that you lie <br>

<br>

You saw me through the keyhole of a door that I kept locked<br>

But I'd decorate the threshold just in case you knocked<br>

What I might feel on the edges you will never come to know<br>

And who I might be in the corners I will never ever ever ever show<br>

Never show <br>

<br>

Cuz it's written on my body -- it's on the tip of my tongue<br>

The look in my eyes, in the glare of the sun<br>

The touch of my cold fingers, when I say goodbye<br>

The way that I linger<br>

The way that I lie <br>

<br>

Who said that love would linger who said that love would last<br>

When we cannot seize the moment and we will not leave the past<br>

I don't think I was afraid of you but how could I be sure<br>

When with every altercation you were showing me the door<br>

Well here I go, here I go, here I go... <br>

<br>

Cuz it's written on our bodies -- it's on the tip of our tongues<br>

The look in our eyes, in the glare of the sun<br>

The touch of our cold fingers, when we say goodbye<br>

The way that we linger<br>

The way that we lie<br>

The touch of your fingers<br>

The look in your eyes<br>

The way we accuse<br>

The way we deny<br>

<br>
