Saving Face - Michael Brunnock

You're calling me your lover So I'm calling you a cab And I really don't wanna do this But you know I have to ask You were meant to be an anecdote Now I'm calling everyone I know Telling them about you How I want you at my show But now I'm making you go I know I never get these things right But if you gave me the chance to Maybe I could love you You know I get so nervous sometimes But if you gave me the chance to Maybe I might love you It's like it happened overnight And I can't get you off my mind If I could get things under control Maybe I could leave it all behind We only met two weeks ago And now we wear each other's clothes I wanted to feel tired of you But somehow I just don't And so the story goes I know I never get these things right But if you gave me the chance to Maybe I could love you You know I get so nervous sometimes But if you gave me the chance to Maybe I might love you You know I can only apologize Cause I never get it right And you can't even sympathize Cause you know you're not my type Maybe I might love you I know I never get these things right But if you gave me the chance to Maybe I could love you You know I get so nervous sometimes But if you gave me the chance to Maybe I might love you But if you gave me the chance to Maybe I might love you

Is there anyone awake back home? Starting to feel alone again Room of people I'm the only one in it I thought I heard your voice But I didn't I know I didn't Is there anyone awake back home? Starting to feel like I know What it's like to move on Wake up finding you gone Still feels awkward And I hate it I wish I could fake it So much better than this So much better than this What if I never come back from this Forever part of my eternal darkness Show me what it's like To live on the other side To live in love and light And all those flippant drunken nights Feel like little falls from grace My hands feel stained I can't find the place Between salvation And saving face And all the bad ways I cope Show through my clothes If younger me could see now Would she be horrified or proud? I was a martyr You pulled me under All these scars I can't cover I wish I were better I wish it were over You left my hyper heart out on the water Promises get broken Hearts get stolen And sometimes you don't get them back Where's the exit Where's the medication How do I let go of My dedication What if I never come back from this Forever part of my eternal darkness Show me what it's like To live on the other side To live in love and light

The Mason is recalling As the lentil stands upright How the quarry lived before the dynamite I am his mighty mansion A monument to see Fleeting for a moment In the mothers memory I'm falling . Throw me a line I'm a man overboard. Well I walked the plank and I jumped the track. I feel the sword point in my back Did I cross the deck with my eyes closed Do I need to know to gain repose Cos I've fallen throw me a line ... Oh won't you help me I've fallen, Throw me a line X 3
