Schnell Fenster - Lamplight lyrics

rate me

She's trying to find the pieces<br />

To put it back together<br />

Chained to late nights<br />

A-huh, take aways, and caffiene<br />

<br />

In a pokey little room there<br />

She's sitting with a vacant stare<br />

Cigarette butts lie everywhere<br />

it's a wet October nightmare<br />

<br />

Ah, she's locked up her heart<br />

Locked up her mind, locked up her soul<br />

And left the key behind<br />

Say that you won't but you do<br />

Like a moth to a flame, yeah<br />

Make up your mind<br />

Give it some time<br />

You might wake up and find<br />

I'm not the waiting kind<br />

Say that you won't, but you do<br />

<br />

And somewhere in the dense smoke<br />

The fragments fly, her eyes are wet<br />

But her throat is dry, and her backlit head<br />

Heaves a heavy sigh udner the lamplight<br />

<br />

We share the same secret<br />

Like a private sun, sunset<br />

Sad and beautiful, but yet<br />

Fading like the twilight<br />

<br />

And through the rhododendrons<br />

Like a portrait painter over<br />

She watches and she waits, a-hah<br />

Waiting by the lamplight<br />

<br />

Ah, she likes to be loved<br />

Loves to be liked, but she doesn't care<br />

Just as long as somebody is there<br />

Say that she won't but she do<br />

Like a moth to a flame yeah<br />

Make up your mind, give it some time<br />

You might wake up and find<br />

I'm not the waiting kind<br />

Say that you won't, but you do<br />

<br />

Staccato of her knuckles on the table top.<br />

It's a syncopated rhythym to the clock's tick-tock<br />

She looks a stunned mullet in a state of shock<br />

Under the lamplight<br />

<br />

Under the lamplight[x3]
