lyrics

I’ve been collecting buttons ‘cos I know that you need one
I have so many colours now, all the shades of a setting sun
I’ve wandered through your garden, peered over your wall
I’ve watched you through those thin panes, I’ve watched you come and go

With your love, that’s when I’d fall apart
Don’t you go breaking anyone else’s heart
‘Cos I’m a glutton and feeding upon this pain is better than nothing

The cuff links in your pressed suits, the creases in your pants
I’ve memorised and studied every time I’ve had a chance
I’ve leant idle on a counter and watched endless passers by
In the hope that I might see you, commit you further to my mind

With your love, that’s when I’d fall apart
Don’t you go breaking anyone else’s heart
Cos I’m a glutton and feeding upon this pain is better than nothing

I met you many years ago but my face you wouldn’t know, at least I wouldn’t think so, babe
Ever since I’ve kept in touch, but I’ve kept it all pretty much on the down low

Of the millions of things lying between your heart and mine
Worst is the fear of falling, falling way behind
In an instant I could have you but your rein is loose and long
And I’ll wait here under your tall tree ‘til tomorrow’s dewy dawn

With your love, that’s when I’d fall apart
Don’t you go breaking anyone else’s heart
Cos I’m a glutton and feasting upon this pain is better than nothing

Sometimes I think how it would be, but a delicious fantasy, you gotta stay so
We’re closer than you think, this could all change in the blink of your eye
And even over your highest wall, I’ve seen things, I could tell all, if you only knew that
Spend all my time creeping up, but all the time I’m never close enough
