You wait for a silence
I wait for a word
Lying next to your frame

Girl unobserved
You change your position
You're changing me

Casting these shadows
Where they shouldn't be


We're interrupted
By the heat of the sun
Trying to prevent

What's already begun
You're just a body
I can smell your skin

And when I feel it
You're wearing thin


But I've got a plan
Why don't you be the artist
And make me out of clay?

Why don't you be the writer
Decide the words I say?
Cause I'd rather pretend

I'll still be there at the end
Only it's too hard to ask
Won't you try to help me?


Sat on your sofa
It's all broken springs

This isn't the place for
Those violin strings
I try out a smile

And I aim it at you
You must have missed it
You always do


But I've got a plan
Why don't you be the artist

And make me out of clay?
Why don't you be the writer
Decide the words I say?

Cause I'd rather pretend
I'll still be there at the end
Only it's too hard to ask

Won't you try to help me?

You wait

I wait
Casting shadows
Interrupted


You wait
I wait

Casting shadows
Interrupted


You wait
I wait
Casting shadows

Interrupted

You wait

I wait
Casting shadows


Why don't you be the artist
And make me out of clay?
Why don't you be the writer

Decide the words I say?
Cause I'd rather pretend
I'll still be there at the end

Only it's too hard to ask
Won't you try to help me?
Won't you try to help me?

Won't you try to help me?
