The Writer

[00:33.43]You wait for a silence
[00:35.73]I wait for a word
[00:38.36]Lying next to your frame
[00:40.96]Girl unobserved
[00:43.44]You change your position
[00:45.97]You're changing me
[00:48.86]Casting these shadows
[00:51.51]Where they shouldn't be
[00:54.08]We're interrupted
[00:56.40]By the heat of the sun
[00:59.18]Trying to prevent
[01:01.06]What's already begun
[01:04.27]You're just a body
[01:06.43]I can smell your skin
[01:09.49]And when I feel it
[01:11.78]You're wearing thin
[01:15.56]But I've got a plan
[01:18.84]Why don't you be the artist
[01:23.00]And make me out of clay
[01:25.78]Why don't you be the writer
[01:29.39]Decide the words I say
[01:32.73]Cause I'd rather pretend
[01:36.37]I'll still be there at the end
[01:39.48]Only it's too hard to ask
[01:43.19]Won't you try to help me
[01:50.09]Sat on your sofa
[01:52.15]It's all broken springs
[01:55.03]This isn't the place for
[01:57.29]Those violin strings
[01:59.74]I try out a smile
[02:02.09]And I aim it at you
[02:05.07]You must have missed it
[02:07.29]You always do
[02:11.41]But I've got a plan
[02:14.56]Why don't you be the artist
[02:18.52]And make me out of clay
[02:21.47]Why don't you be the writer
[02:25.08]Decide the words I say
[02:28.37]Cause I'd rather pretend
[02:32.06]I'll still be there at the end
[02:35.17]Only it's too hard to ask
[02:38.87]Won't you try to help me
[02:43.28]You wait
[02:44.13]I wait
[02:44.95]Casting shadows
[02:46.60]Interrupted
[02:48.13]You wait
[02:49.14]I wait
[02:50.11]Casting shadows
[02:51.65]Interrupted
[02:53.58]You wait
[02:54.36]I wait

[02:58.07]You wait
[02:59.54]I wait
[03:00.48]Casting shadows
[03:05.74]Why don't you be the artist
[03:09.00]And make me out of clay
[03:12.04]Why don't you be the writer
[03:15.64]Decide the words I say
[03:18.96]Cause I'd rather pretend

[03:56.98]Won't you try to help me
You wait for a silence
I wait for a word
Lying next to your frame
Girl unobserved
You change your position
You're changing me
Casting these shadows
Where they shouldn't be
We're interrupted
By the heat of the sun
Trying to prevent
What's already begun
You're just a body
I can smell your skin
And when I feel it
You're wearing thin
But I've got a plan
Why don't you be the artist
And make me out of clay
Why don't you be the writer
Decide the words I say
Cause I'd rather pretend
I'll still be there at the end
Only it's too hard to ask
Won't you try to help me
Sat on your sofa
It's all broken springs
This isn't the place for
Those violin strings
I try out a smile
And I aim it at you
You must have missed it
You always do
But I've got a plan
Why don't you be the artist
And make me out of clay
Why don't you be the writer
Decide the words I say
Cause I'd rather pretend
I'll still be there at the end
Only it's too hard to ask
Won't you try to help me
You wait
I wait
Casting shadows
Interrupted
You wait
I wait
Casting shadows
Interrupted
You wait
I wait
Casting shadows
Interrupted
You wait
I wait
Casting shadows
Why don't you be the artist
And make me out of clay
Why don't you be the writer
Decide the words I say
Cause I'd rather pretend
I'll still be there at the end
Only it's too hard to ask
Won't you try to help me
Why don't you be the artist
And make me out of clay
Why don't you be the writer
Decide the words I say
Cause I'd rather pretend
I'll still be there at the end
Only it's too hard to ask
Won't you try to help me
