SOPHIA - 'FIXED WATER' LYRICS

1. Is it any wonder
this world is full of dreamers
and this world is full of deceivers
but when kind words can part true lovers
is it any wonder that to me love has no meaning
that to me love has no meaning
that to me love has no meaning
is it any wonder

and this world is full of talkers
and this world is full of lies
but I spent my time pushing away
the ones that love me

is it any wonder
that to me love has no meaning
that love has no meaning


2. So slow
I turn of the light but leave the television talking
no, tonight I don't want to be alone
I try to close my eyes, but I'm afraid of the dark
I see you everywhere
I see you everywhere

but death comes so slow
when you're waiting
when you're waiting to be taken
death comes so slow
when it's all you want
and it takes the ones that don't
death comes so slow
and death comes so slow

I try to close my eyes, but I'm afraid of the dark
I see you everywhere
I see you everywhere


3. Are you happy now
I tried to understand but I just hurt you instead
and now you've given up and said
'it's really not worth it'
and I know it must be hard when you're so forgiving
when I'm always taking and I'm never giving

oh I try to understand but I just hurt you instead
are you happy now

I tried to open up, let go
but you said I was holding you back
has the last year really been as bad as that
I know I tend to forget when you're not there
all I remember is how much you liked it
when I ran my hands through your hair

oh I try to understand but I just hurt you instead
are you happy now

there's a tunnel (repeated)


4. Another friend
I think I lost another friend today
he said he's got to go but he'd like to stay
is it because we don't see life the same way
or maybe I should lie and say
everything's ok
everything's ok

I think I lost another friend today
she said she's got to go but she'd like to stay
is it because we don't see love the same way
or maybe I should lie and say
everything's ok
everything's ok

or maybe I should lie and say
well everything's ok


5. The death of a salesman
I walk across the road
and the duke opens his door
I've got to get away from what I know
I take a seat by an open window
I turn when I hear someone say
'it can go both ways'
I finish my drink and reach for my coat
I say goodbye to some people
that I think I know
I step into the street
the rain feels nice in this heat
I say I'm sorry as I reach for the lights

there's nothing like a long walk on a rainy night
there's nothing like a long walk on a rainy night

I take some advice from a man in death intercepted
he said 'take some time
don't let the small things pass by'
but still I cover myself in the presence
of a body that's lifeless
I say I'm sorry as I reach for the lights

no I'll never let you see me undress
oh the death of a salesman


6. Last night I had a dream
last night I had a dream
you were whacked out on coke and speed
the smoke had stained your teeth
you were so rushed you could hardly speak
it made me so sad to see you
looking so old
is this what happiness is like when it's taken its toll

but this is never the life I thought you aspired to believe
oh what has rock and roll led you to believe
this is never the life I thought you aspired to lead
oh what has rock and roll led you to believe

I saw you the other day
I just wanted to sit and talk a while
I missed you so much it's like I wanted life to be confirmed by your smile
and it made me so sad to see you
looking so old
is this what happiness is like when it's taken it's toll

but this is never the life I thought you aspired to lead
oh what has rock and roll led you to believe
this is never the life I thought you aspired to lead
oh what has rock and roll led you to believe

is this what happiness is like


7. When you're sad
I say you're selfish
start throwing glass against the wall
I think to myself why can't I keep my big fucking mouth shut
I try to apologise
you say you're just going out
is there something wrong with me

I'm only happy when you're sad
I'm only happy when you're sad
I'm only happy when you're sad
is there something wrong with me

you say I'm selfish
I say I take what I can get
you say that must be why your life seems so empty
I try to apologise
and say that's just the way I am
is there something wrong with me


8. I can't believe the things I can't believe
I can't believe the things I say to you
I can't believe the things I think
I can't believe the things I put you through
I can't believe that you still stay

and I can't believe the things I can't believe

I can't believe how easily the silences can explain
some things that always seem so hard to say
I can't believe how hard some things are to say
like 'how'd we ever end up this way'

and I can't believe the things I can't believe
