Intro:
/
In the middle of September we entertained the thought
of falling into rabbit holes and never coming out
in the garden of a girl who's mum is friends with Elton John, so she kept
telling us
but still
we slipped a year or so behind ourselves
the time's already gone,
when people were just people not the jobs that they perform
our songs were just a thing we did with melody's and chords
now you're available in all good record stores.
but
i knew you best back when love was just a feeling that ran out between my
legs onto the, back of my dress
onto the clothes that i was wearing
oh when i was a child i was expected to believe
in something up above that no one touches or can see
but now they tell me that unless you're looking out of magazines well then
you don't exist but i knew that that you were real before i read it
in an interview today before i used you as a surface - did a line across your face
in the toilet of a girl who's sitting outside dropping names like they were
carpet bombs, she knows everyone
but, i knew you first back when love was underneath you with my fingers in the dirt,
you said "i'll stop if it hurts"
you said "i'll stop it if it's scary,"
you said "you know that i can stop this any time,
if you think that it is tearing"
and i think of you when the leaves are brown,
i think of leaves that i have felt against my body on the ground
i think of places where we could go to now until they find us 'til they catch
us, 'til they wake us and
we drown until I know where i am
i'm in a garden of remembering your fingers in my hand, were like a book made
of sand
and its the middle of September.
your image starts to fade into the one that they have printed on the 27th page
don't like to read these things you know i do it anyway i have no choice
have no choice i say
and i go out into the garden the birds begin to sing i am troubled by the
thought of all the daylight they will bring
i think that i will let somebody take me home again
Cause if i..
knew you at all
that my love was underneath you making puddles on the floor
and that i sleep to the thought of
Some garden in september where I've never been before
It's slipping, out of the door

two people walking two steps forward always to the lives they've chosen
clicks and hums and sirens and the sun
/
of two people walking two steps forward always to the lives they've chosen,
clicks and hums and sirens and the sun
of two people walking two steps forward always to the lives we've chosen
clicks and hums and silence and the sun
