This is the hope that you sat on
See how it's squashed into the ground now
But darling darling darling oh where do we stand?
Without a rope to hold, without our hopes to hang on?
Cos I think something's going wrong
Inside this head of mine
Cos it's a very very very very sad place
And you said something's going on here in my heart
Where I begin and where you used to start
This is the last of all the days of us
You say it's always the same
Sure I'll fuck it up again
But honestly if I'm a bitch maybe some things just can't be fixed
Perhaps it's where God slipped a stitch...
Cos I think something's going wrong inside this head of mine
Cos it's a very very very very bad place
And you said something's going wrong here in my heart
Where I begin and where you used to start
The doctors think it's in the bloodstream
Now even love's up for pathologizing
It's not surprising when you say what I'm thinking before the thought appears
But if her number's in your speed dial what the hell am I doing here?
Cos I think something's going wrong inside this head of mine
Cos it's a very very very very sad place
And you said something's going wrong here in my heart
Where I begin and where you used to start
This is the hope that you sat on
See how it's squashed into the ground now

this is such a beautiful song and so different harmonically from what i'm accustom to ... but i am accustom to awesome, often goose-bump encouraging, hooks and poetry. you are an impossibly beautiful flower made into the art of sound catherine, and i adore you for that - because it moves me so. anyway, i give this song five hearts <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 -frank- / model daughters
