Keane - Perfect Symmetry

Was it all in real time or was it just in my mind
Or was I just a ghost passing through you?
Clinging to the wreckage till I got the message
Hanging at the edge of the room

Give me something that's real
Give me half of your bitterest pill
Something from under the surface
You actually feel

We say these words again and again
But they still sound the same
It was in your eyes, in your eyes
They were just easy lies

The lightest words are heavy and promises are easy
And no one's ever happy or sad for very long
Well, just because I said it, it doesn't mean I meant it
I guess that was the way all along

I'm just shaping the sound
I'm just turning the syllables round
Dipping my toe in the water
And watching you drown

We say these words again and again
But they still sound the same
It was in my eyes, in my eyes
They were just easy lies

And it's been a long time waiting
And it's been a lifetime in the making, oh

We said when you are alone and afraid
I will come to your aid
Was it just a dream, just a dream?
'Cause it was real to me

We say these words again and again
But they still sound the same
We say these words again and again
And again and again
