lyrics
These things come in threes,
Once broken, twice bleed.
The third one comes to understanding.
but you got your blue dress on
Screaming out my name on a New Jersey peer in vain
under-stated, wan-ting
Independent of the things you meant to me
And what the Empire thinks
I appreciate letting you down for a good time,
for such a long time.
And then you punch me in the face.
You cant hold me back, fall
You cant hold me back, fall
You cant hold me baaack
Did you ever stop to think I’d find a way
Im ok, away
I lied about needing everything
And the fact that you meant anything at all, was enough for me at all
slow-ly under-standing
this so called vacation will soon be my death,
Im so sick of the drink I need home for a rest,
take me home
take me home
take me home
When you said that, what you needed
was someone that understands the way you think
So I listened, and you pleaded
to break it down into these three simple things
Then we waited, and conceded
stop trying to make sense of this defeat
Now it’s coming back,
first colour, then black.
But you don’t like what I’ve been painting
but you got your blue dress on
and I’m screaming out your name from a Montréal bridge in vain
Slowly sensing something
Hold my breath jump and I can’t fall
Bail and blame it on the weather
Old days, always better
When letting you down for a hard time,
was such a good time.
