Therese

In a room, your cigarette burns away You sat and watched in that dreamy way you keep In when confusion mounts That explained it never seems to count It never Seems to count I've come to understand you Although too much it never amounts And I've found That it knocks me to the ground It scares the health out of me It scares the health out of me I'm weakening Oh I'm shaking and rattling everything It scares the health out of me It scares the health out of me You wrote the rulebook, and when I look The balance sways in which our days The minutes that escape me The guilty minutes hate me You wrote the rulebook, and when I look The balance sways in which our days Reminds me of when we were young I was struck weak by a wicked sound And I've found That it knocks me to the ground It scares the health out of me It scares the health out of me I'm weakening Oh I'm shaking and rattling everything It scares the health out of me It scares the health out of me Oh, the people that you left It was the mark you overstepped And once in every while I'll see through and Therese, she'll smile The people that you left It was the mark you overstepped And once in every while I'll see through and Therese, she'll smile And I've found That it knocks me to the ground It scares the health out of me It scares the health out of me I'm weakening Oh I'm shaking and rattling everything It scares the health out of me It scares the health out of me
