Album: Extraordinary Machine
Song: Parting Gift

I opened my eyes while you were kissing me once,
More than once.
And you looked as sincere as a dog.
Just as sincere as a dog does
When it's the food on your lips
With which it's in love.

I bet you could never tell
That I knew you didn't know me that well.
It is my fault, you see,
You never learned that much from me.

Oh you silly, stupid pastime of mine.
You were always good for a rhyme.
And from the first to the last time
The sign said stop, but we went on wholehearted...
It ended bad but I love what we started.
It said stop, but we went on wholeheart...
It ended bad but I love what we started.

I took off my glasses while you were yelling at me once,
More than once.
So as not to see you see me react.
Shoulda put em - shoulda put em on again,
So I could see you see me sincerely yellin' back.

I bet your fortress fades.
Belight your fort ablaze.
It was by the grace of me
You never learned what I could see.

Oh you silly stupid pastime of mine.
You were always good for a rhyme.
And from the first to the all the last times
All the signs said stop, but we went on wholehearted...
It ended bad but I love what we started.
It said stop, but we went on wholehearted...
It ended bad but I love what we started.
