The Start Of Something

This time of night I could call you up

I'd get angry with athletic ease, break common laws in twos and threes

If I die clutching your photograph

Don't call me boring, It's just 'cause I like you

Take me on back, take me back

To the place where I could feel your heart

Is this the end or just the start of

Something really, really beautiful

Wrapped up and disguised as something really, really ugly,

Won't you

Come by and see me, I'm a love letter away

I'd break your name before I'd say, "I really love you, love you, "

I don't care if you saw, I watched every inch of film

Flash across your Roman features,

And I loved it, loved it; I don't care if

You think I'm eager to shut your eyes, well

I'm sorry-everybody knows you can't break me with your gutter prose

Would you believe it, she sent me a letter,

The ring, it nearly weighs her down, she's got another boy, oh boy

Steady your ears... read my lips

Poetry is not a luxury, it's how I'll break this home

And when I'm really ill, won't you cradle me?

Man is not a noble animal, but maybe woman is, remember,

I heard you

Inside your room, you said, "You never really live

Until your back's against the wall, " oh did you really mean it?

I never break my gaze, if just to see this scar remain reflected in your eyes

I think it's time to go home

Oh, tell me your thoughts, tell me your thoughts on liberty,

See there's a place where I sink to sleeping

Oh, my vote is as red as my blood

Will you join me for another round? I haven't had the chance to speak yet

God speed

I break the law once every week to feel your touch,

What's a book to you in bed, Do you feel better, older?

This just makes me ill, your name is dripping from my pen

Still you're not around to curse,

I'll drop the gun now, I'm still under you

Marianne, let the ghosts sleep tonight.

Marianne, let the ghosts sleep, just shut your eyes and burn the past away.
