Song Lyrics

Back when I was an ocean afraid that it would sink
My heart was as scarred as a skating rink
Back before I knew not to trust what I think
You came along and pulled me back from the brink

Well you know we never talked
Talked about that
I was more like a tree and you were more like a cat
Curled up in my arms on a July day
Wind came along and I began to sway

Now I may not need you
But I've still got greed for you
See how my heart bleeds for you?
And I tremble like a leaf for you

And you can leave me hanging
Hanging anytime
You can leave me hanging
Hanging I don't mind
There's beauty in the taking
And the leaving behind
And everything is sweetness with you
And you know I don't mind

Well I like to think of myself as a servant of duty
But to tell you the truth I may be a slave to your beauty
You walk in the room and you're all I see
You're looking away but you're still pointing at me

They poured magnetic dust over the two of us
Then went and said we can only talk so much
Just say the word, I will do what I must
Even if there never comes a time for us

Well I may not need you
But I've still got greed for you
See how my heart bleeds for you?
And I tremble like a leaf for you

And you can leave me hanging
Hanging anytime
You can leave me hanging
Hanging I don't mind
There's beauty in the taking
And the leaving behind
And everything is sweetness with you
And you know I don't mind

The cruel switchblade of happiness
Shines in the summer rain
The cruel switchblade of happiness
When will I see you again?

The cruel switchblade of happiness
Shines in the summer rain
The cruel switchblade of happiness
When will I see you again?

The cruel switchblade of happiness
Shines in the summer rain
The cruel switchblade of happiness
When will I see you again?
