Eyes wet, mouth gone dry
Fix your dyslexic smile
Will you come around here again
I'm dying just to see you
To hear your voice...

I heard a sound from a long time ago
"I love you" she said
But she didn't even know
I felt a weight on my chest from a time that's passed
She said "Cross my heart"
I said "Don't hold your breath"

Why are we still trying?

Will you come around and stay awhile
Fix up your dyslexic smile
Your eyes are wet, your mouth is dry
I'm dying just to see you
Will you come down when you're way up high
When the ground's a myth and all you know is the sky
I'm dying just to hear your voice and fix that dyslexic smile

I felt a pain from a time of sorrow
"Good-bye" she said
But she'll be back tomorrow
Here one minute then gone the next
She said "I'm with you now"
Don't hold your breath

Why are we still trying?

Will you come around and stay awhile
Fix up your dyslexic smile
Your eyes are wet, your mouth is dry
I'm dying just to see you
Will you come down when you're way up high
When the ground's a myth and all you know is the sky
I'm dying just to hear your voice and fix that dyslexic smile

I see an image of pure despair
She said "I love you baby"
Yeah, well I don't care
Your stupid games, I'm not impressed
She said "Let's try again"
Don't hold your breath

Eyes wet, mouth gone dry
Fix your dyslexic smile
Will you come around here again
I'm dying just to see you
To hear your voice...
