But the heart's still buried from
When I was yours, when I was yours
But the voice still carries through
When I was yours, when I was yours
Through the hills and valleys sing
When I was yours, when I was yours
Sing "Erase this memory of when I was yours"

I've got a punctured soul from too much "give a shit"
Can you die from this?
I guess we're going to find out
It ain′t stopped me moving forwards
Using raw confusion
Hey! Can I get a witness? Can you hear this?
Could anybody even care less?
A hidden picture′s setting it off
Thought I'd deleted them all
I wasn′t thorough enough

Guts still churning, eyes still burning
I'm still working it out

But the heart′s still buried from
When I was yours, when I was yours
But the voice still carries through
When I was yours, when I was yours
Through the hills and valleys sing
When I was yours, when I was yours
Sing "Erase this memory of when I was yours"
When I was yours
Got to get a move on - step by step
Ditch the all-night do-wrong - step by step
Feeling copacetic - step by step
Seemingly athletic - step by step
Take in the scenery - hup-2-3
And fuck the negativity - hup-2-3
Gleaming like a pistol - hup-2-3
And shining like a chainsaw - hup-2-3-4

Ain't gonna pay for it anymore
For the beast to stay up all night
I don′t give a damn what they're fighting for
Hey mama, yer boy is straight-up alright
Hey mama, yer boy is straight-up alright
Hey mama, yer boy is straight-up alright

I been thinking I'm not good enough
Well, I′m good enough for me
About time I gave me all that love
I been spending on the moon and stars
I came close enough but no cigar

I′m gonna take that chain from round my neck
I'm gonna throw it in the river
I′ve been asleep too long and now I'm home
I′m gonna soak that sun into my bones
There's a difference ′tween being lonely and being on your own
I need a real love - I need a real love
I need a real love - I need a real love
I need a real love - I need a real love
Something I identify as worthy of my attention

I need a real love - Worthy of my affection
I need a real love - I don't want no dissension
I need a real love - Something I identify as mine, all mine

All my time rewarded and I've avoided
How to take the easy way out

But the heart′s still buried from
When I was yours, when I was yours
But the voice still carries through
When I was yours, when I was yours
Through the hills and valleys sing
When I was yours, when I was yours
Sing "Erase this memory of when I was yours"

It's just a sleep away
It's just a sleep away
It's just a sleep away
It's just a sleep away

The warming affection
It's just a sleep away
The morning erection
It's just a sleep away
Giving up fighting
It's just a sleep away
Let a little light in
It's just a sleep away
As the dog looked up at the aeroplane
And I laughed at his obvious confusion
He turned to me and said
"Fish don't know they're in water."
