A Minute Testo

well now, a minute on my own is more like a minute without hope
it’s the minute when i rush to the front door
to watch how passers-by all carry on with their lives
and i don’t
now a minute of my time is more like a minute in a fight
only it’s the minute that i spend here by the phone thinking
i don’t understand why i believe in this
and you say ‘turn you mind off, you’re gonna make a mess with yourself’
and i say ‘nothing to lose’
and you say ‘everything’s gonna come round your way’ and i say ‘hmmmm…’
now in a minute like today’s i wish i knew my name
i wish i knew the way to the surface
i wish i had the strength to let it all drop
but i don’t
instead i make the hole deeper than before
instead i make a straight line go round and round
somebody save me from myself
and you say ‘turn you mind off, you’re gonna make a mess with yourself’
and i say ‘i love you too’
and you say ‘everything’s gonna come round your way’
and i say ‘nothing to lose’
i let my night’s go cause there’s nothing left to dream of
i let my hands fall cause there’s nothing left to hold on to
but i don’t care
and you say ‘turn you mind off, you’re gonna make a mess with yourself’
and i say ‘nothing to lose’
and you say ‘everything’s gonna come round your way’
and i say ‘i love you too’
and you say ‘you better take that weight off your boat’ and i say ‘no seas to cruise’
and you say ‘well, if luck doesn’t show up today
i’ll still be there’
and i say ‘i love you too’
