Close The Lid
Put me on a boat and cut the lineThe fishing’s been much better but the weather’s fineAnd all my friends are here to kill the timeAnd all the things I love are in rewindAnd I wouldn’t care if they all just disappearedCause you know I’ll be coming back here every yearThe promise of the fallAnd winter’s lazy callThey’ve got me pinned against the wallAnd all we are is all in allAnd I’m not afraid to dieAs long as you’re by my sideWe can sleep the whole year throughAnd then I will up and leaveTo show you that I believeIn the way that things used to bePut me in a box and close the lidPut me on a shelf, keep me well-hidAnd everything I said and everything I didAnd everyone I’ve known since I was a kidAnd keep me there until I’m oldUntil I know that I have wisened upCause right now I’m too weakMy mouth can barely speakSongtexteMy days are cold and bleakAnd we are on the brinkOf a long civil warBetween my heart and yoursWe will fight by ourselvesDon’t let me be a liarIt was just friendly fireWent on for a bit too longPoint me to the truth and make me learnEverything I have but never earnedLike the way your heart always returnedAfter I had left it unconceredAnd I will be much better this time, I swearI’ll pull you back in time and I’ll keep you thereThe dead hand of the pastMaking time go by so fastMaking all my troubles lastAnd I’d rather die alone in the grassDon’t let me hestitateAnd don’t sit around and waitWhile the others are having funAnd I like it better hereWhere I can be cold all yearAt least I’ll be by myselfAh ha ha ha Aus Songtexte Mania
