MewithoutYou - Leaf lyrics
[MewithoutYou - Leaf lyrics]
If you fail to see a problem
Which I find hard to believe
Or if you're hanging on from branches
Licking honey from the leaves
You say, "The hopelessness of living
And the childishness of suicide!"
But there's a call to love my brother
That can never be destroyed
However much you talk however well you talk
You make a certain sense
But still it's only stupid talk
However much I strut around
However loud I sing
The shining One inside me won't say anything
Oh, to want one thing!
Oh, to want one thing!
(Oh, the purity of heart)
Oh, to want one thing!
Oh, to want one thing!
And you'll remind me how I said
You were a quiet bed in all my noise to rest
Well, I was charming you at best
Can you remember, dear
My saying how my coming here
Was a terrible fall as we crept like thieves
Along your bedroom hall?
I'd come down and touch your eyelids
But, if you stay up too late
I'll throw you back into the cupboard
With all the chipped and dirty plates
Like the carnival game with the
Bottleneck and rubber ring
Where even if you win
Even then you don't win
(All I want is to want one thing)
Which I find hard to believe
Or if you're hanging on from branches
Licking honey from the leaves
You say, "The hopelessness of living
And the childishness of suicide!"
But there's a call to love my brother
That can never be destroyed
However much you talk however well you talk
You make a certain sense
But still it's only stupid talk
However much I strut around
However loud I sing
The shining One inside me won't say anything
Oh, to want one thing!
Oh, to want one thing!
(Oh, the purity of heart)
Oh, to want one thing!
Oh, to want one thing!
And you'll remind me how I said
You were a quiet bed in all my noise to rest
Well, I was charming you at best
Can you remember, dear
My saying how my coming here
Was a terrible fall as we crept like thieves
Along your bedroom hall?
I'd come down and touch your eyelids
But, if you stay up too late
I'll throw you back into the cupboard
With all the chipped and dirty plates
Like the carnival game with the
Bottleneck and rubber ring
Where even if you win
Even then you don't win
(All I want is to want one thing)
