If it weren't for you, i'd still talk in riddles And use my thumbs only for empty space To emphasise the awkward silence Right in the middle between not so important words If it weren't for you, i would still know how to stop With boundaries like barb wired frontiers And only one dog door hidden somewhere to cross I can't even see the border from here You see, i don't think you're wasting time
If i could just make all the inner clocks stop ticking We might meet in the dark and quickly wipe the blood off our mouths I'd still think i know what you're thinking If it weren't for you, i'd still be so damn good at lying And believing that love's some stupid card trick Made out of jacks, queens, hearts and diamonds With you i'd gladly drink too much milk until it makes our stomachs sick
