[White Lies - Unfinished business - live at hoxton bar & kitchen, london / 2013 lyrics]
Just give me a second darling
To clear my head
Just put down those scissors baby
On this single bed
The sand in the hourglass is running low
I came through thunder, the cold wind
The rain and the snow
To find you awake by your windowsill
A sight for sore eyes and a view to kill
I broke down in horror at you standing there
The glow from the moon shone
Through cracks in your hair
I shouted with passion, "I love you so much"
But feeling my skin, it was cold to the touch
You whispered, "Where are you?"
I questioned your doubt
But soon realized you were talking to God now
You've got blood on your hands
And I know it's mine, i just need more time
So get off your low and let's
Dance like we used to
But there's a light in the
Distance waiting for me, i will wait for you
So get off your low
Let's kiss like we used to
I looked in the mirror
But something was wrong
I saw you behind but my reflection was gone
There was smoke in the fireplace
As white as the snow
A voice beckoned gently, now it's time to go
A requiem played as you
Begged for forgiveness
"Don't touch me", I screamed
"I've got unfinished business"
You've got blood on your hands
And I know it's mine, i just need more time
So get off your low and let's
Dance like we used to
But there's a light in the
Distance waiting for me, i will wait for you
So get off your low
Let's kiss like we used to
You've got blood on your hands
And I know it's mine, i just need more time
So get off your low and let's
Dance like we used to
But there's a light in the
Distance waiting for me, i will wait for you
So get off your low
Let's kiss like we used to
To clear my head
Just put down those scissors baby
On this single bed
The sand in the hourglass is running low
I came through thunder, the cold wind
The rain and the snow
To find you awake by your windowsill
A sight for sore eyes and a view to kill
I broke down in horror at you standing there
The glow from the moon shone
Through cracks in your hair
I shouted with passion, "I love you so much"
But feeling my skin, it was cold to the touch
You whispered, "Where are you?"
I questioned your doubt
But soon realized you were talking to God now
You've got blood on your hands
And I know it's mine, i just need more time
So get off your low and let's
Dance like we used to
But there's a light in the
Distance waiting for me, i will wait for you
So get off your low
Let's kiss like we used to
