[Verse 1]
Listen to me dear
To my greatest fear
You'll soon be leaving
I'll soon believe it
But late at night you made your choice
I try to make the best of it
We try to believe you're better off alone
[Verse 2]
The art of sinking
Bury my feeling
Under the floorboards
To last the winter
And now and then we'll speak again
I'll take them out and show them off
But they are so cold from being underground
[Chorus]
I'd prefer that
You not stay here
Take your time I'll
Try to stay clear
And I'd like to say that
I'll be waiting
When you get back
And I hope I'm right
[Verse 3]
We're wasting your time
Forget you're leaving
Enjoy the daylight
Forget ‘bout evening
And polish a pearl
It's coming out of its shell
And as we fight to the teeth
It's in our pocket, we got it, It's gone
A mysterious disease we may never find a cure
[Chorus]
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
