So pieni – in one way or another this is for you and only you. i guess you will figure. Remember: Minä näytän vielä ihan samalta, vaikka minusta on hajonnut palasia. I might not be the same anymore. But change in life is inevitable. And even if it must be sometimes so painful for you to bare with me and memories, I am so thankful for you being by my side.
Step out the front door like a ghost
into the fog where no one notices
the contrast of white on white.
And in between the moon and you
the angels get a better view
of the crumbling difference between wrong and right.
I walk in the air between the rain,
through myself and back again.
Where? I don’t know
Maria says she’s dying.
Through the door, I hear her crying
Why? I don’t know
Round here we always stand up straight
Round here something radiates
Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand
She said she’d like to meet a boy who looks like Elvis
She walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land
Just like she’s walking on a wire in the circus
She parks her car outside of my house,
takes her clothes off,
Says she’s close to understanding Jesus
She knows she’s more that just a little misunderstood
She has trouble acting normal when she’s nervous
Round here we’re carving out our names
Round here we all look the same
Round here we talk just like lions
But we sacrifice like lambs
Round here she’s slipping through my hands
Sleeping children gotta run like the wind
Out of the lightning dream
Mama’s little baby better get herself in
Out of the lightning
Well I let her go, like the fool that I was
Thought I’d get over her soon
But I smell her perfume when I close my eyes
And I see her face in the moon
But she doesn’t exist anymore, she doesn’t exist anymore
There is this thing like a knife that drives inside you
And it is wordless and painful and old
But there’s no one else in this whole fuckin world
That will match to the things in your soul
But she doesn’t exist anymore, no, she doesn’t exist anymore
Watch them when they’re gone, watch them when they’re gone, try to carry on
She said “Did you think that you were dreamin’?”
I said “No, I didn’t think that I was dreamin'” And I said so.
I just want it to come true, baby all I need is you
She said “Did you think that you were dreamin’?”
I said “No, I didn’t think that I was dreamin'” And I said so.
I just want it to come true, baby all I need is you
But she doesn’t exist anymore, no, she doesn’t exist anymore
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Now I’m the girl on the car out in the parking lot
And I say “Hey baby, come on, take a shot”
I said “Can’t you see me? Can’t you see me?
Can’t you see my walls just crumblin’ down?
Can’t you see my walls just tumblin’ down?
Can’t you see my sky’s not flashing round?
Can’t you see the moon is turning black and brown?
Can’t you see my sun’s not spinning round?
Can’t you see me? Can’t you see me? Can’t you see me?”
She said “NO!”…
But the girl on the car in the parking lot
says: “Man, you should try to take a shot
Can’t you see my walls are crumbling.”
Then she looks up at the building
and says hey I’m thinking of jumping.
Says she’s tired of life;
but we’re all tired of something.
But round here she’s always on my mind
Round here hey man I got a lot of time
Round here we’re never sent to bed early
And nobody makes us wait
Round here we stay up very very late
And I said “She doesn’t exist anymore, no, She doesn’t exist anymore”
She said “Did you think that you were dreamin’?”
I said “No, I didn’t think that I was dreamin'” and I said so
I just want them to come true, baby all I need is you
She said “Did you think that you were dreamin’?”
I said “No, I didn’t think that I was dreamin'” and I said so
I just want it to come true, baby all I need is you.
I believe.
