lyrics

If these walls could talk,
then they would answer back.
If these walls had eyes,
then they would see me crack.
And they’d whisper to the wind,
which in turn would wear me down,
and with no irony at all,
see me fall like Jericho.

I don’t know if you’ve ever listened,
to a single word I’ve said.
If I was a different person,
Then I think I would want you dead
but I keep letting you back in though,
and you only let me down.
If that’s not some kind of madness,
then I’ll hide my head in the clouds.

It’s the wallowing you love the most,
There’s no denial that you are happy to play the host.
So it’s hello again,
the same old feelings
and hello again
the same old stories
And I know I’m implying a Folie a Deux
That’s ‘cos I know you’re feeling it too.
