Standard (EADGBE)

Thousands, no millions of hours

We've been skirting around this whole subject

Like children stuck in a museum.

And I'm dry now.

My mouth will not speak, I'm weary and weak

And I only wanted to see you again.

If that's unfair, just let me know,

Just write it down, and then I'll go.

But you skate around my human skin

An apple where your throat begins

Just say...

Just tell the stars to give a sign,

Put it in a bottle...

Say you're mine.

And it's better, better than music,

Better than words to be with you

But better that we're apart.

Can't you feel it?

It's taken me over, left me for dead like Ophelia.

Who knew a prince and survived?

And so I ask in every line

That I might learn of your design

But you skate around my human skin

An apple where your throat begins

Just say...

Just tell the stars to give a sign,

Put it in a bottle...

Say you're mine.

But you skate around my human skin

An apple where your throat begins

Just say...

Just tell the stars to give a sign,

Put it in a bottle...

Say you're mine.
