Don’t you know I had hoped I would never meet ya?
Content to admire you from a distance
But the heart puts up such strong resistance
Oh, my heart, when it starts to beat, it only beats for you,
And I just don’t know what to do
So I’ll wait
for you to let me be the one to hold you
till the sun comes up again

Don’t bury me alive
You’re all I’m living for
you’re as perfect as a cellar door
Stay right here by my side
sit back and watch the world die
While this song keeps swinging, just like I’ll keep clinging
to my silver shard of hope and pray that possibly you carry one too

When I’m out other girls flash a smile or more
could I be any more nauseous
as I navigate the gaggles cautiously?
hoping that these vodka tonics help to break the tension
Give us just one thing to build on
so you’ll let me be the one to hold you
till the sun comes up again

Don’t bury me alive
You’re all I’m living for
as perfect as a cellar door
Stand right here by my side
sit back and watch the world die
you know I’ll keep changing, keep rearranging
all my furniture and habits and whatever else you want me to do

I want to hang your curtains up, kill all your spiders,
reach the things that are higher
On the shelf than you can reach

I want to be your rock and roll over in bed to find you
staring back at me when the
sun comes up again

Well it’s just demyelination
I’m losing my nerve
it’s just demyelination
I’m losing my nerve
create a head-on collision
and dare me to swerve
Well it’s just demyelination
I’m losing my nerve
