Lyrics
0:01Light struck from the lemon tree
0:06What if I'd never seen Hysterical Light from Eugene?
0:15Lemon yoghurt remember I pulled at your shirt?
0:20I dropped the ashtray on the floor
0:25I just wanted to be near you
0:29Emerald Park wonders never cease
0:35The man who taught me to swim
0:38He couldn't quite say my first name
0:44But like a father he led community water on my head
0:49And he called me "Subaru"
0:53And now I want to be near you
0:58Since I was old enough to speak
1:04I've said it with alarm
1:09Some part of me was lost in your sleeve
1:15Where you hid your cigarettes
1:19No I'll never forget
1:22I just want to be near you
1:26Still I pray to what I cannot see
1:32In the sprinkler I mark the evidence known from the start
1:41From the bed near your death
1:43And all the machines that made a mess
1:46Far away the falcon flew
1:50Now I want to be near you
1:55What's left is only bittersweet
2:01For the rest of my life
2:03Admitting the best is behind me
2:09Now I'm drunk and afraid
2:12Wishing the world would go away
2:15What's the point of singing songs
2:19If they'll never even hear you?
Light struck from the lemon tree What if I'd never seen Hysterical Light from Eugene? Lemon yoghurt remember I pulled at your shirt? I dropped the ashtray on the floor I just wanted to be near you Emerald Park wonders never cease The man who taught me to swim He couldn't quite say my first name But like a father he led community water on my head And he called me "Subaru" And now I want to be near you Since I was old enough to speak I've said it with alarm Some part of me was lost in your sleeve Where you hid your cigarettes No I'll never forget I just want to be near you Still I pray to what I cannot see In the sprinkler I mark the evidence known from the start From the bed near your death And all the machines that made a mess Far away the falcon flew Now I want to be near you What's left is only bittersweet For the rest of my life Admitting the best is behind me Now I'm drunk and afraid Wishing the world would go away What's the point of singing songs If they'll never even hear you?
