Electric Soft Parade

Steal what you need, and leave the rest for me
You never took the time to look at what you've got
And all the times you fell, I was there to pick you up
You're never far away from what you want to be

I've found it's harder to reach the end
Now I'm trying to start again
Can't you see that it's incomplete?
Now I'm taking the things that you need

I've found it's harder to reach the end
Now I'm trying to start again
Is it something I said before?
Can't you tell us apart anymore?

So steal what you need, and leave the rest for me
You never took the time to look at what you've got
And all the times you fell I was there to pick you up
You're never far away from what you want to be

I've found it's harder to reach the end
Now I'm trying to start again
Can't you see that it's incomplete?
Now I'm taking the things that you need

I've found it's harder to reach the end
Now I'm trying to start again
Is it something I said before?
Can't you tell us apart anymore?

Stars at my window
All say they don't know
What is true
In letters of blue

Yeah, yeah

You say you don't know
All there is to know
Well it's true (yes it's true)
In letters of blue

And all I know is no-one is my friend
And it's empty at the end
So you start again

Small talk on the radio
It seems I am going nowhere today
Small talk gets you nowhere choose
Between a curtain or a star
And I'm silent to the dark
'Cause when I needed someone to talk to
You were the only one around
Small cost, it pays to be alone
Small talk on the radio
It seems I am going nowhere today
(Not today)
Small talk gets you nowhere
I'm silent to the dark and tepid
Only when you ask
'Cause when I needed someone to talk to
You were the only one around
Small cost, it pays to be alone
When I needed someone to talk to
You were the only one around
Small cost, it pays to be alone
And you can do anything you want
Yeah you can anything you want
You can do anything you want
It doesn't matter
It doesn't matter
'Cause when I needed someone to talk to
You were the only one around
Small cost, it pays to be alone
When I needed someone to talk to
You were the only one around
Small cost, it pays to be alone
When I needed someone
To talk to
To talk to
To talk to
'Cause when I needed someone to talk to
You were the only one around
Small cost, it pays to be alone

This is what I say
When I can't say to you
This is what I do
When I can't say to you
Out of time, out of touch
And on through the dark nights
We sleep alone
As if all we know is true
This is what I say
When I can't say to you
This is what I do
When I can't say to you
Out of time, out of touch
And on through the dark nights
We sleep alone
As if all we know is true
What it takes to feel
To be alone

I know there's a space for this, there's a niche for this given line
I know we will make it up
They will break it up given time
I know there's no use in this
So throw it all back in

And I know it's getting harder for you to choose
Who will lie? You can prove
And I know it's getting harder to feel secure
Who will lie? You can prove

I know there's a space for this, there's a niche for this given line
I know we will make it up
They will break up given time
I know there's no use in this
So throw it all back in

And I know it's getting harder for you to choose
Who will lie? You can prove
And I know it's getting harder to feel secure
Who will lie? You can prove

I know there's no use
And I know it's getting harder to feel secure
Who will lie? You can prove
And I know it's getting harder for you to choose
Who can lie? You will prove

Sometimes, I wake up in the sun
Everyday, it burns me like no-one
Could ever be like me
Everyone has faltered now we're gone

You're so bitter, I don't get it
Why do you try so hard to hate me?
You're so bitter, I don't get it
Why do you try so hard?

Sometimes, I wake up in the sun
Everyday, it burns me like no-one
Could ever be like me
Everyone has faltered now we're gone

You're so bitter, I don't get it
Why do you try so hard to hate me?
You're so bitter, I don't get it
Why do you try so hard to hate me?
You're so bitter, I don't get it
Why do you try so hard to hate me?
You're so bitter, I don't get it
Why do you try so hard?

So take your songs tonight
I don't feel the hurt inside
I am bruised and I am broken
And don't I feel the hurt inside
I am taking my exit now
I am making my exit now
And I'm not sure where I'll be

You're so bitter, I don't get it
Why do you try so hard to hate me?
You're so bitter, I don't get it
Why do you try so hard to hate me?
You're so bitter, I don't get it
Why do you try so hard to hate me?
You're so bitter, I don't get it
Why do you try so hard?

There's not enough time
There's no room in this town
To try and move
You've tried me out for now
Don't kill what's left off
You never know it's there
I tried to argue
But now your skin is bare
And I could try to make you mine
But I haven't got the time
To waste it all
On someone like you
Don't kill what's left off
You never know it's there
And I tried to argue
But now your skin is bare
And I could try to make you mine
But I haven't got the time
To waste it all
On someone like you
(Ooooh, ooooh)
And I could try to make you mine
But I haven't got the time
To waste it all
On someone like you
And I could try to make you mine
But I haven't got the time
To waste it all
On someone like you
(Ooooh, ooooh)

You don't get out much, you're hardly locked inside
And nothing ever gets you down
You don't get up to much, and nothing comes of it
And nothing ever gets you down
And as the day came rushing in
I realised what could have been
And everything I ever saw
Came quickly as had not before
Do you and I see it the same way?
I think about it everyday
You don't get out much, you're hardly locked inside
And nothing ever gets you down
You don't get up to much, and nothing comes of it
And nothing ever gets you down
And as the day came rushing in
I realised what could have been
And everything I ever saw
Came quickly as had not before
Do you and I see it the same way?
I think about it everyday
Do you and I see it the same way?
I think about it everyday
And life goes on, and life goes on
And life goes on, and life goes on
And life goes on, and life goes on
And life goes on, life goes on
And life goes on, and life goes on
Life goes on, life goes on
And life goes on, life goes on
And as the day came rushing in
I realised what could have been
Everything I ever saw
Came quickly as had not before
Do you and I see it the same way?
I think about it everyday
Do you and I see it the same way?
I think about it everyday
Do you and I see it the same way?
[repeat and fade out]

Today was the day
They went away
The voices in my head disappeared

And I (see you taking all the blame)
I could cry (it's really not that hard)
I could die (it's really not that hard)
But I'd rather never see you...
And I (see you taking all the blame)
I could cry (it's really not that hard)
I could die (it's really not that hard)
But I'd rather never see you again

The time I awake
Spelled out all of my mistakes (mistakes)
The voices in my ears, they are fake

And I (see you taking all the blame)
I could cry (it's really not that hard)
I could die (it's really not that hard)
But I'd rather never see you...
And I (see you taking all the blame)
I could cry (it's really not that hard)
I could die (it's really not that hard)
But I'd rather never see you again

And I (see you taking all the blame)
I could cry (it's really not that hard)
I could die (it's really not that hard)
But I'd rather never see you...
And I (see you taking all the blame)
I could cry (it's really not that hard)
I could die (it's really not that hard)
But I'd rather never see you again
