A Pharmacy In Paris
This confession has meant nothing
There's no more barriers to cross
Nothing is redeemed
I've gained no deeper knowledge of myself
A broken empty vessel
A lung that is lacking air
You could take my hand and feel my flesh
Gripping yours but I simply am not there
Gone without a warning
I go down without a fight
But you and I
We'd level each other out
I was the pills that kept you steady
You the opiates that talked me down
All we had to do was try
And make each other laugh
And let love and medication see us through the harder parts
You're not the type of woman
That ever likes to say things clearly
But you know that I'm the kind of guy
That needs to have it spelt out of me
And it's not the sort of thing that ever
Really seems to just get better
No parents and no friends or lovers
Or doctors seem to ever have an answer
It comes without a warning
And I go down without a fight
But you and I
We'd level each other out
I was the ghost in your machine
You were the chick in the armour of my self doubt
All we had to do was try
To make each other laught
It's all we had
Love and anger they share the same bed
The same body heat warms both of them
They rise together as we come together and it makes a mess of our heads
We've sen it before
And we'll see it again
Expectations cause a rift
And we stand of different sides
Until the crack becomes a chasm
An unconquerable divide
And we rarely see
Eye to eye
Maybe a kid could sort us out
We could take everything we love about each other
And it into someone else
Take all that extra energy
That we would use to fight
And pour it into the foundations of
The building of a life
I can see it now
Almost close to perfect
It could be you, her and I
Living by a pharmacy in Paris
All we have to do is try to and
Make each other laugh
And let love and medication
See us through the harder parts
Is it ever enough?
Is it ever enough?
Is it ever enough?
Is it ever enough?
Is it ever enough?
Is it ever enough?
Is it ever enough?
Is it ever enough?
Is it ever enough?
Is it ever enough?
