It comes in whispers

Like sleepy murmurs

Warm, like sunshine on your skin

Non-invasive, but persuasive

And then your savage imagination

Demands an audience

Suppos-ed standard storylines

Implanted from a distance

First unit on the scene

Says 'close it up tight'

But by now I know better

No more 'fight or flight'

And the wind kicks up the leaves

And the oceans go wild

As I roll up my sleeves

and release the mind

In my purple velvet fields

I'll roll on the fresh, cut grass

And then I think I'll scream

And shatter what once was...

I feel so hurt by you.

You chose her over me

But the ultimate irony is

I'd never make you choose, you see?

I'll give you space to come back to me

Just so you know

It may not be the same this time

And I'm the fool somehow

I'd probably take you back

And I'd forgive all that's been done

I wouldn't even need an explanation

Just to see your glowing face in the sun, the sun, the sun

You don't even know how much it hurt

You don't even see the pain in my heart

But I'd never burden you with that

I really just want a new start
