Pearshaped Orange - Love as a Wishbone

To ease your mind
You could make it right
Or forget about
What you did that night
Flinch away
From spoiled days
Break your knuckles
In the frame

Dry your eyes and split
You'll burn yourself out
Hoping it gets better than this
What a pity you don't deserve
So proud of what
Innocence never got its chance to learn

Your inquisition is close
But you'll be getting away
I'll find time to accuse you
On a gentler day
If you weren't such a coward
It would show on your face
My forgiveness is just
A browbeating away

So lay your head down
Into my arms
Let me delude myself

Pull close bite in to find what's at stake
Eden's promise
Or love for lusts sake
I suppose it is you that I ought to thank
For taking my childish illusions away

When we first met
We were just kids
You didn't know
Any better than I did
It was on the high road
Where I slipped
My perceptions
Weren't paid to quit

Dry your eyes and split
You'll burn yourself out
Hoping it gets better than this
What a pity you don't deserve
So proud of what
Innocence never got its chance to learn

Though you seem so sure
You're so out of place
An anachronistic
Heavy-weight case
Out on your own
Eat it up in space
Talk with your fists
Leave the rest up to fate

I never met one so vapid and brave
Just shout the world down
And keep shifting the game
And I'll find time to adore you
On a gentler day

If you're going to feed tonight
Hardened heart
Ring its neck and endure its cry
Your eyes they smart
Where's the glory?

I tried
To be led by your light
Obsession without question
Let me get back to you
Even the bones would do
Enveloped by the sea
You owe me

So breathe easy because I will never say your name
I'll skirt around the facts so you don't have to feel ashamed
If we ever meet again I promise, I will drop my eyes
I've had enough of careless gazing at the sunrise
