Speechwriters Llc - 1999 lyrics

rate me

Stuck inside my cell, this southern California hell

Things here aren't going quite so well as it would seem

It should be said, I've got your picture by my bed

To bring me back when I feel dead, but you still feel just like a dream

Living with a curse, I can conceive of nothing worse

Than life with you out there and me here on my own

My dreams are still about you as I'm breaking down without you

In this place that I refuse to call my home

I watch the days go by as if I wasn't here

I see the sun rise up and burn, I watch the sunlight disappear

And while the days keep on repeating all my dreams die self-defeating

Falling broken out my head onto the floor

A little bit of you up in my arms and I feel fine

Drink your kiss like it was wine

You make me shine, I make you mine, we leave the rest behind

Tomorrow cannot find us if we undermine the hands of time

Inside each others' minds like it was 1999 again now

Hungry belly, I can't sleep, I pray the sea my soul to keep

But there's no oceantide around

The things I need so I can make you real add up to more than I can steal

And I just die without a sound

I say your name sometimes to taste it on my lips

I see you smiling in my mind, I trace you with my fingertips

But you're not there to feel me breathing, lying cold and disbelieving

In this heavy desert air that never leaves

A little bit of you up in my arms and I feel fine

Drink your kiss like it was wine

You make me shine, I make you mine, we leave the rest behind

Tomorrow cannot find us if we undermine the hands of time

Inside each others' minds like it was 1999 again now
