Elliot

So I called you up at late last night
And I said "hey, what you up to now?"
And you said "hey stranger, I’m in bed"
And I said "well, guess what, I’m outside your door"
"Oh girl, would you know what time it is?"
"Well, oh boy, do you know how long it’s been?
Come quick full moon with me outside"
He laughs down the phone and whispered "give me 5"
So I gave him 3
Coz' this can’t happen to me again
I won’t let him do this again

And he looks a lot different now
He’s cut his hair and he smells a lot sweeter
He stopped smoking cigarettes
But the one thing that hasn’t changed at all are his smiling eyes.

Another piece of you has found a way in
I thought I locked my door and turned off the light
Another piece of me must find a way home
I cannot accept I always do this alone
A part of my heart dies and I build from the bottom up
All I get are lies and I’m never quite sure
I don’t want to be closed but it’s all that I seem to know
And don’t’cha get the feeling that something's gotta give?

And another little piece of me has lost itself to you
No matter what I change
The changes don’t pull me through
Another piece of me just goes and does it again
Ignoring all of the signs flying over the bends
And all that’s left is yours to take

Another piece of you just won’t let me go
And I’m not even sure you know you’ve taken a hold!
You say you do not get it but I say that you’ve got it good
You stand perfectly still but I’m running around
And another little piece of me has lost itself to you
No matter what I change
The changes don’t pull me through
Another piece of me just goes and does it again
Ignoring all of the signs flying over the bends
And all that’s left is yours to take

When will I realize that nothing’s as it was, nothing’s as it was?
You won’t keep me terrified coz’ I found another way out
When will I realize that nothing's as it was, nothing's as it was?
You won't keep me terrified
Coz I found it, I found it, I found it.

And another little piece of me has lost itself to you
No matter what I change the changes don’t pull me through
Another piece of me just goes and does it again
Ignoring all of the signs flying over the bends
And all that’s left is yours to take
And all that's left is yours to take

You only do it, coz I let you do it but I’m at the end
You only do it, coz I let you do it but I'm at the end
You only do it, coz I let you do it but I'm at the end
