on album "failing" a song about boy on tour and girl at home ;-)
lyrics
Jealousy
I wish I were healthy and home
But I’m not; I’m on the road with places to go
And its alright, it’s another night
So there’s no need to complain
In and out it always ends the same
So why worry, it won’t kill us it makes strong
But who gave her the flowers that she said she bought
And what goes on when I’m lost somewhere abroad
At night I call her on the phone
And I’m having a hard time thinking she’s not alone
And I remember how we needed a lot more time together
A FEELING YOU CAN’T KEEP INTACT
It’s jealousy instead
AND YOU HADN’T EXPECTED a pain LIKE THAT
Nothing ever falls in line
YOU WORRY ALL THE TIME
I don’t want you to suffer for any undone crimes.
Oh no!
What’s going on?
Why are you alone?!
A FEELING YOU TEND TO FORGET
jealousy for a fact
YOU HADN’T EXPECTED to react LIKE THAT
Surely we’re one of a kind
SO WEARY ALL THE TIME
And now we will suffer an undone crime
Nothing ever falls in line
We worry all the time!
I DON’T WANT US TO SUFFER FOR SOMETHING UNDONE
