It took seven days
For time to take everything we made
Overpaid and ruthless
My sweet thoughts are where the proof is
Kissed her sons and daughters goodnight
Before she drove into the river and felt
That after all that's been it was only right
So tell me what you've been thinking about lately
I won't hesitate but later I'll wonder
At the ease of lies and forbidden delights
It took clammy hands in the dark
Fumbling till they find a spark
Overstayed and permuted (ooh)
Your sweet lips are where some truth is
And on the seventh day, I put my faith to the test
There's still work to do but I'll set aside the plough
Simply contemplate the excess
The waters golden, sailed away on heaven's crest
Sunday's grace so bold and engraved on the bough
Is this what it feels like to do your best?
How could I fail you twice?
Give me my second chance
Better than moonlit romance
It puts me in a transient state
Not quite awake
Not quite the other way
No more mistakes
One last mistake
You made a mess of it
Try to understand
All this Hardware
Every last bitter strand of us
Who made the gun?
Who made the bullet?
Let loose the gamma rays
Abuse her limits
You load the thing
You line it uo
Tell him to be
The bigger man
You could barely say it
His mouth was moving for you
What does it take to die?
Somehow we both survived
It took me seven days
To untie all the reasons I stayed
