The Good Things Are The Enemy
A subtle breeze wanders through the open windowIt's so deliberate that I crave this time last yearWhen the evening light was shimmeringAnd you would look so divineI cannot tell you why...I want the ground to swallow me wholeI don't want to die but I don't want to grow oldYou, you didn't mean to be so severeBut I cannot shake this drugIt's clear to me nowIt's just like my father said one nightI've got to get out of my own head sometimesI wrap myself in thoughts until they smother meI convince myself the good things are the enemyNow the nights just linger pointlesslyAnd all I really want is your companyBut now you're barely talking to meAnd I wonder if we were ever close at allI didn't want you to move awayI'm sorry that I couldn't copeBut you know that the distance made me frailI needed your touch, your scent, your kiss, your smile,And that beautiful look in your eyesSongtexteIt's just like my father said one nightI've got to get out of my own head sometimesI wrap myself in thoughts until they smother meI convince myself the good things are the enemyNow the nights just linger pointlesslyAnd all I really want is your company Aus Songtexte Mania
