Talking To A Brick Wall

The Cooper Temple Clause

I'm not quite how I should be,
Been finding tricks too hard.
I'm thinking something must be broken,
Cause it's wasn't like this before.
Now everyone is ugly,
And everyone is stoned.
Small things about you excite me,
But then I'd hate to spoil the tone.

All my little somethings just ran out of luck.
Secret dates with strangers,
Dirty words and fighting talk.
I'm so scared it's killed me,
Time and time again.
I can't live with compromise,
So maybe we could talk as friends?
If at first you dont succeed, try again for me.

Today is going to be fine,
Tomorrow will be fine too.
I asked for things to better me,
Even though they silenced my soul.
I can taste it just for a second,
And then it disappears.
The flowers look like glitter,
But then, so do you, my dear.

All my little somethings just ran out of luck.
Secret dates with strangers,
Dirty words and fighting talk.
I'm so scared it's killed me,
Time and time again.
I can't live with compromise,
So maybe we could talk as friends?
If at first you dont succeed, try again for me.

It's in the way that you look,
It's in the books that won't read,
It comes and goes like a friend,
It's with me right til the end.

It's in the memories I've lost,
It's concentrating too much,
It's breaking down of relations,
And it's the beat of the clock.

It's not being able to explain,
Or get your feelings across,
It's in the pain that won't leave you,
It's coming straight back for us.

It's in a new lease of life,
And a search that ends well,
It's in finding that change,
It's being happy again.
