From the Dining Table - Josefien

From the brightest star Comes the blackest hole You had so much to offer Why did you offer your soul? I was there for you baby When you needed my help Would you deny for others What you demand for yourself? Cool down mama, cool off Cool down mama, cool off You speak of signs and wonders I need something other I would believe if I was able But I'm waiting on the crumbs from your table You were pretty as a picture It was all there to see Then your face caught up with your psychology With a mouth full of teeth You ate all your friends And you broke every heart thinking every heart mends You speak of signs and wonders But I need something other I would believe if I was able But I'm waiting on the crumbs from your table Where you live should not decide Whether you live or whether you die Three to a bed Sister Ann, she said Dignity passes by And you speak of signs and wonders But I need something other I would believe if I was able I'm waiting on the crumbs from your table

I bet you'd never guess who I saw tonight Guess you didn't see me in those low dim lights I knew who she was By the ring still on her hand Sure looked like you wanted to be her man So I guess that means that things are better Must not be so bad at home I thought it looked like you were leavin' But it don't And I heard you tell her you still love her So it doesn't matter what you say I saw it all From a table away I thought she was pretty She's nothing like the things you said The woman you described Couldn't even turn your head The two of you look lost inside a world all your own Like you couldn't wait to get her alone So I guess that means that things are better Must not be so bad at home I thought it looked like you were leavin' But it don't And I heard you tell her you still love her So it doesn't matter what you say I saw it all From a table away And I heard you tell her you still love her So it doesn't matter what you say I saw it all From a table away Yes you're gonna stay A table away

Breath the air again It's a beautiful day I wish this moment stay with the Earth Some primal paradise There you go again Saying everything ends saying You can't depend on anything or anyone If the end of the world was near Where would you choose to be? If there was five more minutes of air Would you panic and hide? Or run for your life? Or stand here and spend it with me? If we had five more minutes Would I... Could I... Make you happy? And we would live again In the simplest of ways Living day after day Like some primal animals We would love again Under glorious suns With the freedom that comes with the truth If the end of the world was near Where would you choose to be? If there was five more minutes of air Would you panic and hide? Or run for your life? Or stand here and spend them with me? If we had five more minutes Would I... Could I... Make you happy? So it finally came to pass I saw the end of the world I saw the madness unfold like Some primal barrier And I looked back upon Armageddon And the moment of truth Between you and me If we had five more minutes Of air to breathe And we cried all through it But you spend them with me On the last few drags I felt that we agreed I was And you were Happy

I'm going under and this time I fear there's no one to save me This all or nothing really got a way of driving me crazy I need somebody to heal Somebody to know Somebody to have Somebody to hold It's easy to say But it's never the same I guess I kinda liked the way you numbed all the pain Now the day bleeds Into nightfall And you're not here To get me through it all I let my guard down And then you pulled the rug I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved I'm going under and this time I fear there's no one to turn to This all or nothing way of loving got me sleeping without you Now, I need somebody to know Somebody to heal Somebody to have Just to know how it feels It's easy to say but it's never the same I guess I kinda liked the way you helped me escape Now the day bleeds Into nightfall And you're not here To get me through it all I let my guard down And then you pulled the rug I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved And I tend to close my eyes when it hurts sometimes I fall into your arms I'll be safe in your sound 'til I come back around For now the day bleeds Into nightfall And you're not here To get me through it all I let my guard down And then you pulled the rug I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
