lyrics

The Ballad of Harry
I'd never longed before
I’d never wanted more
Still I just couldn’t get enough
I’d mostly stand and watch beside
Since I just didn’t have the means
To be like everybody else
I watched the others falling, disappearing into states of mind I couldn’t grasp, where they would breathe I only gasped, yet somehow…

I. Love. You. Desperately.
Annoyingly
The sense of being thrown against a wall.
Brick. Hard. Repeatedly. Ferociously.
It’s clear that we would never stand a chance.

There’s not a chance in hell I would give up to tell
But I simply can’t regain my poise
I start admiring all the people who recovered after falling so much harder, or so they said.
I watch myself in progress, disappearing into states I can’t explain or grasp, but somehow they make sense at last, and clearly…

I. Love. You. Desperately.
Compulsively. I feel like I’ve been run down by a truck Huge. Ouch. Repeatedly. Compellingly.
It’s clear that I would never stand a chance.
