Song Description

A beautiful yet pointedly/scathingly worded singer's ballad about an unfulfilling love that's going nowhere. Gorgeous string arrangement.

Lyrics

I can't believe in you
You're not even real
You're the one who taught me not to feel

I should run the other way
as far as I can get
mmmmmm.... but I haven't yet



I am beautiful
but you never see
It's just not in your vocabulary

There are things that I should say
Friends are placing bets
mmmmm.... i havent yet


Our love is like our shadow
just around the bend
It's like a dry rain
and a calm wind


There was a time...
but it didn't last
there were a thousand points
we never passed

I've known you forever
and it's like we've never met
No, we haven't yet

Our love is like a secret
you cannot tell a friend
Like a dry rain
and a calm wind


BRIDGE
Not enough rain for anything to grow
just enough to make a few tears
A pile of dry leaves
that the wind won't blow away
just circling and circling for years


You know everything
except for who I am
We are lost
and you don't give a damn

You take the love I give you
but there's something you don't get
No, you haven't yet

You take the love I give you
but there's something I don't get
No, I haven't yet


Our love is like a shadow
just around the bend
it's like a secret you cannot tell a friend
Like a letter
you never think to send
Like a dry rain
and a calm wind
