Bottom of the Pale

It hadn't hurt but baby
this had killed us
killed us DEAD

[your hand just slipped from mine]

you never spoke but
your smile held the words
we never made it but we
came so close to..
we came so close to..

they hadn't warned us and
would we have listened
the beat of our hearts
and your soft, stunning laughter
had blocked out the tuned of our sad, sad world

we never need dramatics
we never need plans
your hand in my own had always fell in the scheme of things

you never spoke but
your smile held the words
we never made it but we
came so close to..
we came so close to..

I've been lying, trying to
find an abstract way to
tell you that i
scream that i had
loved you all this time

you had pulled me by the skirt
and i had cherished every moment cause
i was snug around your finger

you never spoke but
your smile held the words
we never made it but we
came so close to..
we came so close to..

we never need dramatics
we never need plans
your hand in my own had always fell in the scheme of things
[we came so close to..]
[we came so close to..]
