Hopeless Building

I used to walk alone some time ago
And then all I'd need to know
Was when I got to see you

And these words we'd drawn, some "close but no cigar"
And no matter where you are
I built my rules for you

But I went down to shake my frown
So I could introduce my sad new clown
It seems so unappealing

And the loving shakes came back around
And all the while, you're here for this new sound
In a hopeless building

This is major surgery
This is no liberty
High rise in a hopeless building

We started with the awkward kissing and the tumbling in the dark
But to you, this love's a lark
That you could play to your will

Oh, and your bed provided the safety of my day
Now I guess I didn't need it anyway
So your "broken" heart can sit still

But it's not fair
I can't get you anywhere
And it's cute you seem to care
With our hearts revealing

This is major surgery
This is no liberty
High rise
In a hopeless building

So I'll wait for your decision cos it's better playing safe
I hope you come around before it gets too late
I'll take you by the words so we have no choice
But nothing hits me harder than the sound of your voice

It's everybody's worth, it's everybody's lie
It's barely worth the struggle to look you in the eye
I haven't got the heart to drive you back home
So Jessica, why'd you have to break my bones?

This is major surgery
This is no liberty
High rise
In a hopeless building
