Mew
White Lips Kissed
[A1]
Wake me up
Only nightmares take me in
Through these walls the winter bites
A draft from all sides

[B1]
Why did you not include me on your list?
Let me in through the ceiling
White lips kissed

[C1]
Our love is a fickle love
Keeps itself locked in a suitcase
To be ready to go always

[A2]
I won't cry when the silver lining shows
But you're right, you understand
You ride with both hands

Worrying is the breathing that you need
So there won't be far to fall
You mustn't climb tall

[B2]
[Short instrumental interlude]
Things that are supposed to mean lots
Leave you cold
And with a malady of the soul

[C2]
Our love is a tricky love
Bet you know this
Bet you noticed
Bet you know, which is why

[D]
I should know
Better than
Anyone
Ever could
Soon as I
Let go
Everything
Falls apart

[A3]
I won't cry when the silver lining shows
But you're right, you understand
You ride with both hands

Worrying is the breathing that you need
So there won't be far to fall
You mustn't climb tall
Wake me up
Only nightmares take me in
Through these walls the winter bites
A draft from all sides

Of course you can
There are diamonds in demand
It's a shame and as you know
The stain will not go

[Instrumental outro with ad-libs]
