about

I've known him for 15 years, and Rob still won't tell me who this song is about.

lyrics

She comes again, brutal and dishevelled.
I let her down, but I let myself down more.
If I could save a fraction of the impact
I'd keep myself a secret, the instant just before...

And in your eyes I see my own reflection.
A tawdry lie to come into my own.
I see the sun go down by increments.
The further from the coastline,
The colder I have grown.

But come the dawn, she comes around.
Her emerald eyes are hooded now.
Let fly a salvo of tracer fire.
She wakes in darkness, makes me a liar.

She makes me over in her graven image.
I take the bit between my teeth and run.
I place my hand over her heart
To brace myself for the shock that is to come.

And in the dark I watch my sister breathing.
I need the sound more than I'll ever know.
Untie the bonds that keep me from the surface.
The closer that she gets the further I will go.

We dance tonight, we fall tomorrow.
She takes my hand, I melt away.
I give me life, she takes a moment.
I can remember no other way.
