[01:18.95]Giving into love and sharing my time
[01:25.64]Letting someone into my misery
[01:35.88]I told it all step by step
[01:44.88]How i landed on the island
[01:51.44]And how i swam across the sea
[01:58.64]And it crosses my mind
[02:09.91]That i may wake to a knife in me
[02:10.59]No more breath in my hair
[02:13.96]Or ladies' underwear
[02:16.91]Tossed up over the alarm clock
[02:22.53]Blood dripping from the bed
[02:25.59]To a neatly written poem
[02:28.72]A heartfelt last line reading
[02:36.66]There is no more mystery
[02:42.85]It it going to happen my love
[03:01.65]It's all in your head she said
[03:03.84]Morning after nightmare
[03:08.03]You're building a wall she said
[03:11.09]Higher than the both of us
[03:13.96]So try living life
[03:15.47]Instead of hiding in the bedroom
[03:18.96]Show me a smile
[03:23.54]And i'll promise not to leave you
[03:29.34]It happened under a rainy cloud
[03:33.15]Passing through the dark south
[03:35.78]We went into a big house
[03:38.03]And slept in a small bed
[03:43.52]I didn't know you then
[03:48.52]As well as you of me
[03:56.34]We talked of our sad lives
[04:00.46]And we went off separately
[04:07.78]I found your overseas souvenirs
[04:18.53]Holiday greeting cards
[04:24.15]And some long forgotten high school fears
[04:31.16]It's all in my head i said
[04:36.03]Banging a piano
[04:39.10]I've not been so alone i thought
[04:40.15]Since kicking in the womb
[04:43.97]I drank so much tea
[04:47.65]I wrote my letters in kanji
[04:51.22]Around the block i walked and walked
[04:53.21]Pretending you were with me
[05:02.09]Not wanting to die out here
[05:13.10]Without you
[07:04.47]The hurting never ends
[07:05.10]Like birthdays and old friends
[07:09.28]We forget what is flesh blood and bone is human
[07:16.78]Turning phone lines to airlines
[07:22.47]Unwilling to face
[07:27.28]The love is found on the inside not the outside
[07:39.22]And like a medicine bottle
[07:43.65]In the cabinet i'll keep you
[07:52.71]And like a medicine bottle
[07:59.40]In my hand i will hold you
[08:03.03]And swallow you slowly
[08:05.09]As to last me a lifetime
[08:08.65]Without holding too tight
[08:11.40]I do not want to lose
[08:15.46]The thrill that it gives me
[08:17.71]To look out from my window
[08:20.96]And scowl at the houses
[08:24.34]From my world in the bedroom
[08:27.77]It's all in my head she read
[08:30.71]In her girlfriend's self-help book
[08:33.08]It's all his own making
[08:35.77]A war with himself
[08:37.39]Like two sides of a wall
[08:40.22]That separates two countries
[08:43.52]He shuts out the world
[08:47.21]And wants only to love you
[08:50.29]
[08:54.72]Not wanting to die out here
[09:07.22]Without you
