Elbow

The Bones Of You

V1: So I'm there, charging around with a juganaut brow
Over draft speeches and deadlines to make
Cramming commitments like cats in a sack
Telephone burning, purposeful gait
When out of a doorway the tentacles stretch
Of a song that i know, and the world moves in slow - mo
Straight to my head like the first cigarette of the day
C1: And its you, and its me, and we're sleeping through the day
And I'm five years ago and three thousand miles away

V2: Do i have time? a man of my caliber stood in the street
Like a sleepwalking teenager, no
And i dealt with this years ago
I took a hammer to every momento
But image on image like beads on a rosary
Pull through my head as the music takes hold
And the sickener hits i can work till i break
But i love the bones of you, that i will never escape
C2: And its you, and its me, and we're sleeping through the day
And I'm five years ago and three thousand miles away
And i can't move my arm, through fear that you will wake
And I'm five years ago and three thousand miles away
