When I'm Down - Whethan

What say you now The door is opening on your vigil Now I'm in my usual way I save my breath, knowing what you're You're wanting me to say I only love you when I'm down You say that midnight Opens its arms to me Leaving you alone, then I fly so far away Until the light blurs my vision And I have nowhere to roam I only love you when I'm down And I only love you when I'm down And I'm only near you when I'm gone But one thing for you to keep in mind, you know That I'm down all the time All the time Well, I know you're reaching out And you need to feel my hand You want to be understood Yeah, well, I understand I know you hold Precious little hope for me And in your happiness I'm always drowning in my grief And I only love you when I'm down, oh-oh And I'm only near you when I'm gone But one thing for you to keep in mind, you know That I'm down all the time All the time All the time All the time

It's been a year since last weekend When you swung by with an old friend Carried out our future box by box Stack of mail a tube of toothpaste An empty zeppelin three cd case Still a few things here that you forgot They're just a bad excuse Just something I can use To call you Come on over Drink my wine Waste my candles Waste my time Tell me lies I won't believe Just don't wake me when you leave Come on over Kick me to the ground Kiss me when I'm down The bar you're in sounds like it's crowded People laughin' people shouting Where you gonna go at closing time Just pay your tab And I'll pay your cab If you want to Come on over Drink my wine Waste my candles Waste my time Tell me lies I won't believe Just don't wake me when you leave Come on over Kick me to the ground Kiss me when I'm down Just an hour or two Is better than none of you I miss you Come on over Drink my wine Waste my candles Waste my time Tell me lies I won't believe Just don't wake me when you leave Come on over Kick me to the ground Kiss me when I'm down Kiss me when I'm down

My love and I, we work well together But often we're apart Absence makes the heart lose weight, yeah, Till love breaks down, love breaks down Oh my, oh my, have you seen the weather The sweet September rain Rain on me like, like no other Until I drown, until I drown When love breaks down The things you do To stop the truth from hurting you When love breaks down The lies we tell, They only serve to fool ourselves When love breaks down The things you do To stop the truth from hurting you When love breaks down The lies we tell, They only serve to fool ourselves When love breaks down The things you do To stop the truth from hurting you When love breaks down When love breaks down My love and I, we are boxing clever She'll never crowd me out Fall be free as old confetti And paint the town, paint the town When love breaks down The things you do To stop the truth from hurting you When love breaks down The lies we tell, They only serve to fool ourselves When love breaks down The things you do To stop the truth from hurting you When love breaks down The lies we tell, They only serve to fool ourselves When love breaks down The things you do To stop the truth from hurting you When love breaks down The lies we tell, They only serve to fool ourselves When love breaks down When love breaks down
