Medicine Bottle Red House Painters

[Verse 1]
Giving in to love and sharing my time
Letting someone into my misery
I told it all step by step
How I landed on the island
And how I swim across the sea
And it crosses my mind
That I may awake to a knife in me
No more breath in my hair or ladies underwear
Tossed up over the alarm clock
Blood dripping from the bed to a neatly written poem
Heartfelt last line reading

[Pre-Chorus]
There is no more mystery
Is it going to happen, my love?
There is no more mystery
Is it going to happen, my love?

[Chorus 1]
"It's all in my head", she said, "Morning after nightmare"
"You're building a wall", she said, "Higher than the both of us
So try living life instead of hiding in the bedroom
Show me a smile and I'll promise not to leave you"

[Verse 2]
It happened under a rainy cloud, passing through the dark South
We went into a big house and slept in a small bed
I didn't know you then
As well as you of me
We talked of our sad lives
And we went on separately
And we went on separately
I found your overseas souvenirs
Holiday greeting cards
Those long forgotten high school fears
