lyrics

beside myself, truth I must admit…these words of jumping ship will harm us both
beyond repair…call me crazy, call me on your carpet baby…this criminal is ready to speak
so here’s my molotov, my heart found favor with another
and as this cocktail drops an unbelievable wave of shock you’d better duck and cover
‘cause it’s all over but the shouting

every soul needs light, but mine’s been wastin’ away in the afternoon shade…out of sight
and I am not the pure and perfect one, but my branches are still bent toward the sun

dyed in the thickest wool, nothing left to say, give me the scarlet A, while you remain
beyond reproach, just call me liar, call your crowd and light the fire…no time to explain
by now you must think my heart is a drunken sailor out on leave
but captain, I’ve been lost in your sea, believe me

every soul needs light, but mine’s been wastin’ away in the afternoon shade…out of sight
and I am not the pure and perfect one, but my branches are still bent toward the sun

your anchor deep, but I’m raising sails
my blame to keep, admit defeat and vanish like a vapor
I guess hearts can shred like paper
it’s my fault…all my fault…sound the trumpets, I have run this into the ground

my soul screams for light…swing these gates open wide

every soul needs light, but mine’s been wastin’ away in the afternoon shade…out of sight
and I am not the pure and perfect one, but my branches are still bent toward the sun
