Lyrics

She met him hollow
All caustic in the lamplight of her sixteen years
Crass and making roaches
From her house of cards and her paper tears
She called it silence
He called it all that ever left his lips when in her gaze
A soft reminder of those things
She liked to call the good old days
Her head is in her hands (Her head is in her hands)
Her head is in her hands and as it is she says:
"I wanna see the Earth, tremble in the falling rain
I'll cradle all his words and store them all inside my veins
Oh, darling have you heard?
There's nothing else like your own pain
To remind you, nothing's ever gonna be the same"
She made him nervous
A little casket for his feelings that had died and gone
She hoped to bury them
And find some others futher on
She stayed all night
Inside herself and found that she had lost her way
The road subsided
As she wandered out to where he lay
Her head is in her hands (Her head is in her hands)
Her head is in her hands and as it is she says:
"I wanna see the Earth, tremble in the falling rain
I'll cradle all his words and store them all inside my veins
Oh, darling have you heard?
There's nothing else like your own pain
To remind you, nothing's ever gonna be the..."
"I wanna see the Earth, tremble in the falling rain
I'll cradle all his words and store them all inside my veins
Oh, darling have you heard?
There's nothing else like your own pain
To remind you, nothing's ever gonna be the same"
"I wanna see the Earth, tremble in the falling rain
I'll cradle all his words and store them all inside my veins
Oh, darling have you heard?
There's nothing else like your own pain
To remind you, nothing's ever gonna be the same"
