lyrics

I cut and run because I could not feel ridiculous with you
Though I doubt that’s what I told you on the phone
Now some time has passed and I’ve had plenty moments to review
And I find myself ridiculous alone
But go. Go away
Let somebody else love you
Somebody else will love you better anyway

Anyway
You seem unmoved by my affection for you
Though I admit
I notice more when I’m afraid

The part I wrote for you is longer than the one you played, I know
Whose fault is it when elephants fall down?
Try to keep the room around them so orderly and clean
And when they go the sound they make is thunder

Anyway
the words they use for it now make it easier, I guess
though I admit
I never found it hard to say

So glad you had a last word planned to say
So bridges form connections. bridges stay.
So fields of vision turn into bad dreams
And new worlds can’t contain old pleasantries

Go on and leave this platform, board your train,
And go away
Let somebody else love you (somebody else will love you better anyway).
