Pragmatic Indescretion

it was so windy last night i could hardly breathe
and i went jumping in puddles
just to see if i'd fall through
and i wish my cigarette was a million inches longer
so i could wait 400 years before coming back in
'cause i can see her tearing you in two
and i could never sew fast enough for you
i could never work hard enough to fix you

and it kills me to see you
and it wrecks me to be
i only run faster so you'll catch me
and i hide under walls but you never find me

i leave crowded rooms so you will follow
and i scream for you but the turn to swallows
and i always hold on just a little too long
'cause i can see the hurt in your eyes
and i can't imagine causing someone that much pain
again and again
