The Dears Album

papier mach or crazy glue
we stick together me and you
and while the world falls apart
you've got my soul I've got your heart

we're held up on delayed metros
there's no more drug or cheminaud
we're waiting for your demands
we smoke far too many gitanes

I'm not the man you used to know
and that's not impossible
and while the world falls apart
you've got my soul I've got your heart

Have you ever hear of Gide?
I won't advise, it's full of lies
Trust me, I know 'cos I believed it so
What was I supposed to do? Turn my back?
Well, that would lack a certain amount of happiness, no doubt
It's brutal and cruel and inevitable

It's not my fault so I don't care anymore
I'm packing up and moving out
And it's alright 'cos I'll be miles away, trying to find new things to say
To say

Take me home and tuck me in
Hold me tight and I just might tell you all I know (I'm feeling pretty low)
Sunglasses and handkerchiefs
I'm chronicling everything that's happened to us, so hate me if you must
It's easy to do so easy to do, yeah
And so convenient

It's all my fault though I don't care anymore. I'm packing up and moving out
And it's alright 'cos I'll be miles away, trying to find new things to say
Trying to find new things to say

It's so very sad that I prefer to sleep in a Hollywood bed
And it's so very sad that I prefer a love so miserably led.
Well what did you want? Would you rather this in a different font? I don't know.

I'm happy to say that I am forever changing my ways.
For there is nothing else to spill, except a demi-format bottle of pills.
Well what did you want? Would you rather this in a different font? Oh, no.
no.

Is this the end? has our time come and gone? It's like every book we've read and every film we saw.
lalalalala
If this is how our world must fall apart, no sewing kits to mend our broken hearts, clearly there's no point in this pretense.
Still we're left to find out how it ends.
How will it end?
Is this the end?!?

We want your information
We will do what we must
But not here, or in front of people, or on the phone

We're not all blood sucking leeches
For we all have families too
But that don't mean that we really
love them or that we don't
'Cause I can't love you
And you can't love me
But I can love you
And you can love me
Love me

It's not a confrontation
(all across the world, open your mouth)
We are here because we are broke
(give us what we want, we've had enough)
But we don't expect a hand out or anything
(soul soul soul soul soul)
'Cause I can't help you
And you can't help me
but I can help you
And you can help me
I can help you
You can help me
I can help you
You can help me
Help me
Help you
It's not an impossible situation
Help me
It's not an impossible situation
Help you
It's not an impossible situation
Help me
It's not an impossible situation

I know there is doubt we can do this but I can help you

I have never cried in anybody's arms
The way that I have often cried in yours
Please be the one to take my tears away
I was 22, I've had my share of views
I just can't steal that "happiness" from you
But I'll be the one to take your tears away

I can't believe the things you say
tell me, tell me
tell me the lies

Fasting love will lead us all to nowhere
When, when will we learn
I shall avenge the death of all the romance
Until, until I'm gone

I can't believe the things you say
tell me, tell me
tell me the lies
I can't believe the things you say
tell me, tell me
tell me the lies
I can't believe the things you say
tell me, tell me
tell me the lies
tell me the lies
tell me the lies
tell me, tell me the lies

We've been surrounded
For it was genius
There was no other way
And we know we won't escape
All of our time
Spent on warm and sunny days
From you there's nowhere left
I want to run

Stay
My arms are flailing
Am I a failure
My god the pressure's on
And I still don't have a son
My body's sore from sleeping on the couch because you're gone
These feelings that I have tonight
Waiting for the phone to ring
My stomach hurts, it's tearing us apart

Stay
Stay
There's nowhere left to run
Stay

I get so paranoid
I've got to think of warm and sunny days
Imagining and planning out the course of both our lives
but that is as far
As I am willing to go
Planning out the rest of both our lives
Stay
Stay
There's nowhere left to run
Stay
Stay
There's nowhere left to run

Take me for a drive to the coastline
Pull me to the depths of the sea
Leave me in the middle of the ocean
I can walk the rest of the way
But I promise not to cry anymore
Although reasons beat the crap out of me
Everyday when I wake up
They are waiting
But I promise not to cry anymore
'Cos it's the same old plot to these things
Oh it's the same old plot to these things
Oh it's the same old plot to these things
Oh it's the same old

Our love
Don't mess with our love
Our love
Is so much stronger
Our love
Don't mess with our love
Our love
Is so much stronger
Our love
Don't mess with our love
Our love
Is so much stronger
Our love
Don't mess with our love
Our love
Is so much stronger
Our love
Don't mess with our love
Our love
Is so much stronger

Oh it's the same old plot to these things
Oh it's the same old plot to these things
Oh it's the same old plot
Same old plot
Same old plot to these things

Oh I promise not to cry
Oh I promise not to cry
Oh I promise not to cry
Anymore

I
Have
Been terrified
By the thought of losing you
So very terrified
By the thought of losing you
Stop telling me
I don't want to know
Stop telling because I just don't ever
Want to know
No no no
No no no
No no no
No no no

I've been petrified
By the thought of losing you
Absolutely horrified
By the thought of losing oyu
Stop telling me
I don't want to know
Stop telling me because I just don't want to know
No no no
No no no
No no
No no
No no
