She's always wearing white
She paints up a utopia with candlelight
Her windows are all steamed up
And a catalyst breathes me in
Her eyes are like fire, opals
And her heart is a machine
I look through you
It makes me want to cry knowing what I've done to you
So translucent
We danced for the sun
But how could I know you'd leave me so soon?
Isn't it funny how things come around?
The ceiling always meets the ground
The cookie always crumbles
The shapes of our lives have spiralled and split
And a pendulum's falling into the pit
Every grain of sand is the beach
I look through you
It makes me want to cry knowing what I've done to you
So translucent
We danced for the sun
But how could I know you'd leave me so soon?
No-one can shame you
And no-one can hurt you
And I talked to you for hours about nothing
And I missed you when you said you had to go
And this is all my fault, I should have left
How could I do this to her after all she's done?
Now she weeps silently
I look through you
It makes me want to cry knowing what I've done to you
So translucent
We danced for the sun
But how could I know you'd leave me so soon?
So soon
So soon
So soon
So soon
