[Chorus]
Oh Elise
It doesn't matter what you say
I just can't stay here every yesterday
Like keep on acting out the same
The way we act out
Every way to smile
Forget
And make believe we never needed
Any more than this
Any more than this

[Verse]
Oh Elise
It doesn't matter what you do
I know I'll never really
Get inside of you
To make your eyes catch fire
The way they should
The way thе blue will pull me in
If they only would
If thеy only would
At least I'd lose this sense of sensing
Something else
That hides away
From me and you
There's worlds to part
With aching lips and breaking hearts
And all the smiles
Your hands can break
But I can take
As much as you can throw
And then throw it all away
Oh I'll throw it all away
Like throwing faces at the sky
Like throwing arms round yesterday
I stood and stared
Like stone in front of you
And the way I stared it felt
I looked right out of you
And watching me stand like stone
I broke inside of you
