I Know I Know

After dinner protocol you kiss me on the cheek 

Wrap your arms around me to remind me that you’re free 

The taste of mint is in your kiss but your sweetness is in doubt 

All those broken promises are draining all your clout 

 

Where you were is where you are or someplace in between 

Living all your fantasies while killing all my dreams 

The distance is a blessing till the distance is a curse 

You drive me up the incline till I decline  in a hearse 

 

We travel here then over there then back again once more 

Figure eights and roundabouts then straight back to my door 

You unload all your parcels on my shoulders till they break 

Then turn around to walk away and slip out of my gate 

 

yes I know what you said 

but I know what you meant 

yes I know what you meant 

cause we've been here before 

 

I’m relieved but still can't breathe as I step inside my door 

I stand inside with half closed eyes to fall upon my floor 

Rolling up but fetal down stare off to nowhere land 

Counting all the memories a blowing in the sand 

 

There's quiet in the hallways but the quiet rings so loud 

You're not here but there you are now everything's in doubt 

Pondering my next move as my world spins round and round 

Tossing all your baggage that I've carried pound for pound 

 

Close my eyes to the bright lights still burning around the rim 

Everywhere my solar flares are quickly burning dim 

The ashes blur my vision but it's really plain to see 

All my senses brighten when you fade away from me 

 

So fade away from me 

Don't fade away from me 

So fade away from me 

Don't fade away from me
