Gordon Downie - 11th Fret lyrics

So this is f**ing off by degrees And I suppose we turned out to be not quite Hawaii But I can float back to sleep 'Cause at least you're lying to me Like music that dances from glowing apartments As shadows entwine into a creamy darkness Like j**ellery hung down from rich silhouettes Portrays on the sidewalk where wetness reflects All the colours of evening and the onset of lights Like the promise of nothing, sweet nothing tonight So this is enacting ecstasy And I suppose we turned out to be bathroom graffiti But I can float back to sleep 'Cause at least you're lying to me Like shovelling hope into the infinite us Till the world surges in yelling, "This is a drug bust" Might turn up the heat and make us into one person But then the temperature plunges and the predicament worsens Till we're a fleck of new snow on the eyelash of a cow And we melt away, melt away, melt away, melt Melt away, melt away, melt Melt away, melt away, melt Melt away, melt
