The Start of Something

This time of night I could call you up

I'd get angry with athletic ease

Break common laws in twos and threes

If I die clutching your photograph

Don't call me boring, It's just 'cause I like you

Oh take me on back

Take me on back

And take me back

To the place where I could feel your heart

Is this the end or just the start of

Something really, really beautiful

Wrapped up and disguised as something really, really ugly

Won't you

Come by and see me, I'm a love letter away

I'd break your name before I'd say I really love you, love you

No, I don't care if you saw, I watched every inch of film

Flash across your Roman features

And I loved it, loved it, no I don't care if

You think I'm eager to shut your eyes, well

I'm sorry - everybody knows

You can't break me with your gutter prose

Would you believe it, she sent me a letter

The ring, it nearly weighs her down, she's got another boy, oh boy

Steady your ears, steady your ears and read my lips

Poetry is not a luxury, it's how I'll break this home

And when I'm really ill, won't you cradle me?

Man is not a noble animal, but maybe woman is, remember

I heard you

Inside your room, you said "you'd never really live

Until your back's against the wall," oh did you really mean it?

No, I never break my gaze, if just to see this scar

Remain reflected in your eyes

I think it's time to go home

Oh, tell me your thoughts, tell me your thoughts on liberty

Say there's a place where I sink to sleeping

She said "Oh my vote is as red as my blood"

Will you join me for another round?

I haven't had the chance to speak yet

Godspeed

I break the law once every week to feel your touch

What's a book to you in bed? Do you feel better, older?

Say this just makes me ill, your name is dripping from my pen

Still you're not around to curse

Oh God I'll drop the gun now, say I'm still under you

Marianne, let the ghosts sleep tonight

Marianne, let the ghosts sleep, just shut your eyes and burn the past

Marianne, let the ghosts sleep tonight

Marianne, let the ghosts sleep, just shut your eyes and burn the past

Marianne, let the ghosts sleep tonight

Marianne, let the ghosts sleep, just shut your eyes and burn the past

Marianne, let the ghosts sleep tonight

Marianne, let the ghosts sleep, just shut your eyes and burn the past away
