Lyrics
0:16Do you see rhythms in the ocean water when it reflects the moon?
0:25If it hasn't already happened to you, it's gonna happen soon
0:33Do the lines on your kitchen table only show you how to drown?
0:41And your mother's is the day you were born, the day you cut her down
0:49You used to have me by the arm, you'd walk me up the darkest alleys
0:58Gone to hide, I'm way too far, I've no idea where you are
1:06Do leaves fall down in perfect sentences?
1:10Do maggots crawl your name?
1:14Do mirrors laugh at you behind your back?
1:18Are you constantly ashamed?
1:23Do rugs slither between your feet and chase you slowly to the sea?
1:31Do tree branches bend down and ask you if you're finally ready?
1:39You used to have me by the arm, you'd walk me up the darkest alleys
1:48Gone to hide, I'm way too far, I've no idea where you are
1:55When you turn, when you turn on me
2:02Will I see when you turn, when you turn on me?
2:11Will I see when I turn around will you be there, at the center of the world like a promise to me?
2:20Will you suddenly seem like a stranger?
2:24I can't tell anymore what you want from me
2:28Does your family think you're too far gone, do you wonder if they're right?
2:38Are you different than you used to be, are you alone somewhere tonight?
2:45Do you think maybe you're just a little afraid and haven't really done the serious thinking
2:53Do I really need to hold your hand and walk you all the way up to the moonlight blinking
3:02You used to have me by the arm, you'd walk me up the darkest alleys
3:10Gone to hide, I'm way too far, I've no idea where you are
3:18When you turn, when you turn on me
3:25Will I see when you turn, when you turn on me?
3:33Will I see when I turn around will you be there, at the center of the world like a promise to me?
3:43Will you suddenly seem like a stranger?
3:47I can't tell anymore what you want from me
Do you see rhythms in the ocean water when it reflects the moon? If it hasn't already happened to you, it's gonna happen soon Do the lines on your kitchen table only show you how to drown? And your mother's is the day you were born, the day you cut her down You used to have me by the arm, you'd walk me up the darkest alleys Gone to hide, I'm way too far, I've no idea where you are Do leaves fall down in perfect sentences? Do maggots crawl your name? Do mirrors laugh at you behind your back? Are you constantly ashamed? Do rugs slither between your feet and chase you slowly to the sea? Do tree branches bend down and ask you if you're finally ready? You used to have me by the arm, you'd walk me up the darkest alleys Gone to hide, I'm way too far, I've no idea where you are When you turn, when you turn on me Will I see when you turn, when you turn on me? Will I see when I turn around will you be there, at the center of the world like a promise to me? Will you suddenly seem like a stranger? I can't tell anymore what you want from me Does your family think you're too far gone, do you wonder if they're right? Are you different than you used to be, are you alone somewhere tonight? Do you think maybe you're just a little afraid and haven't really done the serious thinking Do I really need to hold your hand and walk you all the way up to the moonlight blinking You used to have me by the arm, you'd walk me up the darkest alleys Gone to hide, I'm way too far, I've no idea where you are When you turn, when you turn on me Will I see when you turn, when you turn on me? Will I see when I turn around will you be there, at the center of the world like a promise to me? Will you suddenly seem like a stranger? I can't tell anymore what you want from me
