I wish I could run
Straight out of this room
Yeah, I felt all my fears
Rise right out the bloom
And nothing makes sense anymore
Not even the nighttime
Oh, my head is a beaten door
I let the devil in at midnight
And, oh, I long for you
My sweet, simple thing
Hold my heart like a cat pulls a string
I see an apple half-eaten on a table
Fingerprints on a TV screen
Only some of us get to see what true love means
Oh, I feel such a fraud
Singing “Life is so cruel”
Oh, I think I’ve paid my dues
Just not as many as you
And nothing makes sense anymore
No, the rain won’t stop falling
We try to answer but no one’s sure
If it’s Mother Nature calling
And, oh, I long for you
My sweet, simple thing
Hold my heart like a cat pulls a string
I see an apple half-eaten on a table
Fingerprints on a TV screen
Only some of us get to see what true love means
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
