Romantic 04:08
I gravitate towards things that bring me down. I always have, at least I know that now. Never forward, I thought all I had was the past, I used to think each birthday would be my last. I thought that days were things you had to get through, painted my walls every shade of blue. Nothing was worse than a list of things to do, and then there was you. I'm just gonna wait around 'til the end becomes the start. Talking about running away, I always knew you were romantic at heart. I sat inside on the brightest, warmest day. Everything I loved would always run away. Misery taught me everything I knew, and then there was you. I'm just gonna wait around 'til the end becomes the start. Talking about running away, I always knew you were romantic at heart. I'm just gonna wait around 'til the end becomes the start. Talking about digging graves, I always knew you had a gothic heart. When the last days of winter hang outside your door, just let me know. When you hear a voice that summons you, a voice dragging you home.

Some bits of snow still hanging in the air, but that's outside Take off your clothes and lie down over there, oh that's just right I sat by this window and just watched for you. No you weren't late There was a thousand things I had to do, they can all wait You don't take away my hand, like you ought to You've become my family I don't want to understand why I need you You've just become my family I lay down there and watched you getting dressed. It's still so clear You laughed and pulled your knees up to your chest if I came near God knows I've always had to fear the worst, but not that time You brought me home and then you kissed me first, and you were all mine You don't take away my hand, like you ought to You've become my family I don't want to understand why I need you You've just become my family You don't take away my hand, like you ought to You've become my family I don't want to understand why I need you You've just become my family We don't have to do anything We don't have to do anything except watch the leaves Turning in the wind Say what you want to say We don't have to go anywhere We don't have to go anywhere let's just sit and talk About the usual things I couldn't move anyway
