The Writer

[00:33.21] You wait for a silence
[00:35.95] I wait for a word
[00:38.58] Lie next to your frame
[00:41.03] Girl unobserved
[00:43.49] You change your position
[00:45.95] And you are changing me
[00:48.96] Casting these shadows
[00:51.41] Where they shouldn't be
[00:54.28] We're interrupted by the heat of the sun
[00:59.37] Trying to prevent what's already begun
[01:04.49] You're just a body
[01:06.51] I can smell your skin
[01:09.50] And when I feel it, you're wearing thin
[01:15.62] But I've got a plan
[01:18.99] Why don't you be the artist, and make me out of clay?
[01:25.86] Why don't you be the writer and decide the words I say?
[01:32.62] Because I'd rather pretend
[01:36.63] I'll still be there at the end
[01:39.65] Only it's too hard to ask won't you try to help me
[01:49.80] Sat on your sofa it's all broken springs
[01:54.71] This isn't the place for those violin strings
[02:00.04] I try out a smile and I aim it at you
[02:05.50] You must have missed it
[02:07.74] You always do
[02:11.32] But I've got a plan
[02:14.77] Why don't you be the artist, and make me out of clay?
[02:21.71] Why don't you be the writer and decide the words I say?
[02:28.44] Because I'd rather pretend
[02:32.12] I'll still be there at the end
[02:35.33] Only it's too hard to ask won't you try to help me
[02:53.51] You wait, I wait, casting shadows, interrupted
[02:58.64] You wait, I wait, casting shadows
[03:05.88] Why don't you be the artist; and make me out of clay (and make me out of clay)
[03:12.30] Why don't you be the writer and decide the words I say (and decide the words I say)
[03:19.18] Because I'd rather pretend
[03:22.88] I'll still be there at the end
[03:26.15] Only it's too hard to ask won't you try to help me
[03:32.94] Why don't you be the artist and make me out of clay?
[03:39.79] Why don't you be the writer and decide the words I say?
[03:46.34] 'Cause I'd rather pretend
[03:50.41] I'll still be there at the end
[03:53.49] Only it's too hard to ask won't you try to help me
[04:01.15]
