Elizabeth Lyrics by Selfish Things

Six Songs

0

I'm hiding under covers
Wishing I was just another
Well, pretty kid
With a mansion and a wallet
That would put you straight through college
But I admit
That I've lost it all to silly things
Like touring and chasing dreams
So here I stand
I'm lost inside all of these city streets
The nine-to-fives, the kids I meet
This place is damned

But when I see you
I feel alright
If you don't know love
I don't know life
I'm lost in your skin
Your body's porcelain
On this night

I'm sending empty letters
Even though I should know better
Yeah, I am sick
At first I'm twisted round your thumb
Now I'm twisted round your tongue
Girl, you're my fix
Yeah I'm haunted by your summer eyеs
The city nights, the firefliеs
They're all I see
I pray to God that I don't find a job
So I can make your life my song
You'll sing with me

Cuz when I see you
I feel alright
If you don't know love
I don't know life
I'm lost in your skin
Your body's porcelain
On this night

My heart forever grows
I've lost all self control
Your skin and lips
Will move my hips
We'll make this quite a show

And if you ever leave
They'll take me to a stage
Where I can sing for thousands
And get them to scream your name

I'm certain now that I am found
And when I leave this awful town
You can't complain
Because my dreams were meant for more than this
And L.A.'s where my head exists
I'll take a plane
Back to the town where all the angels sleep
Where the superstars still count their sheep
Where dreams are made
I'll get that mansion and that wallet
And I'll put you straight through college
Girl we'll have it made

But when I see you
I feel alright
If you don't know love
I don't know life
I'm lost in your skin
Your body's porcelain
On this night
