lyrics

I’m gonna waste it all,
Don’t you know I’ve lost already?
Sirens beckoned and I succumbed.

But I know we’ll have it all..
Always forgetting,
We’re worlds apart.

Pass me on Hospital Hill;
I’m feeling lost, my sights unsteady.
Sirens sounding and I run.
She told me how I fell,
‘Open arms in expectation’.
Tear these pages then I’m done.

Walk side by side I’m in the dark..
All apart together,
All beggars at heart.

She used to take me out,
We’d roam the town La Belle et la Bête.
I’d curse the rain,
She said darling don’t fret.
The coach pulled up,
Our eyes failed to meet.
Wondering hearts as heavy as the suitcase at her feet.

I’m gonna waste it all,
Can't you tell I’m lost already?
Your cold shoulder left me numb.
Down at the wishing well,
We turned our backs with pockets heavy.
Fingers crossed and songs unsung.

You call me distant I’m not surprised..
All apart together,
All beggars at heart.

She used to take me out,
We’d roam the town La Belle et la Bête.
I’d curse the rain,
She said darling don’t fret.
Turn around the corner,
Out of sight not of mind.
She took my heart with her, left Alsatia behind.
