lyrics

I remember Runnymede
just the way it used to be
when we met

the city lights the falling snow
cassidy on the radio
the safest bet

but it didn't need to take much time at all
for the tickets for two
and the telephone calls
to fall into silence
and then nothing at all

i don't need to be the one
midsummer nights makes you want
i could manage

but if you gave nothing at all
rather than the cruellest call
i would perish
i would perish

maybe i should try to be
like everyone who isn't me
to catch your eye

but every time i try again
a new attack
a sharper pen
i reach out to walls
they're keeping me in

but it didn't need to take much time at all
for the tickets for two
and the telephone calls
to fall into silence
and then nothing at all

i don't need to be the one
midsummer nights makes you want
i could manage

but if you gave nothing at all
rather than the cruellest call
i would perish
i would perish

if i could jump to the front line
make a stand to make you mine
it would be a waste of time

so here it is: all that i want
is someone to talk to
all that i want
is someone who's more than my own damn reflection
someone's who more than my own self-rejection

but it didn't need to take much time at all
for the tickets for two
and the telephone calls
to fall into silence
and then nothing at all

i don't need to be the one
midsummer nights makes you want
i could manage

but if you gave nothing at all
rather than the cruellest call
i would perish
i would perish
