Lyrics
Caught like a fish out of water
a hand in the fire, a heart on display
everyone sing hurray, ‘cause the truth was revealed
and the fire was friendly
Hanging around, passing time,
let the word be announced
that she sings like a bird,
Little girl in my hand build a nest,
Come closer under the cover

Pass through the park covered by the dark
walk like a man, if you can
head over heels ‘til you’re safe again
back at her place, open the gate
please don’t let it be too late

The wind moves around, building maces,
Drawing a picture that no one will see
It’s a sight for sore eyes
And sore eyes are all around me
well, come have a drink, let the afternoon vanish
we’ll talk about old times and people we hate
‘til the hour is late and we find we have wasted our last reserve

April and May, are you okay?
talk to me, say I don’t have to go that way
pictures in frames - all misplaced - back in a haze
I swallow my tongue
please don’t let the race be run

Look at me girl and sing me a song
I’m longing for words ‘cause mine are all gone
but we’ll be all right, after all it’s just a nightmare

April and May, are you okay?
Talk to me, say I don’t have to go that way
pictures in frames, all misplaced
back at her place
open the gate
key in the lock
the door opens up
what was it you said?
A fever in your head?
Enough is enough
let the music stop!

Why can’t you just wake me up?

I am SO SOOooooo sorry that I'm so late with your comments for this but this was amazing. I just watched it and rec'ed it on my twitter and just... wow. I actually put my hand over my mouth and just sat stunned at my screen. That was amazing. My heart was beating so fast at one point and I've seen the damn movie, I know what's coming. You just did such an amazing editing job. Thank you so much for this. Such an amazing match to the music, too.
