Newborn Lyrics - Asleep In The Back - Elbow

I'll be the corpse in your bathtub 

Useless 

I'll be as deaf as a post 

If you hold me like a newborn 

Whisper what you feel 

My badly strung declaration 

To You 

You'll spend the end of your days 

Gently smiling like a newborn 

Love not by degrees 

Press your lips 

To my eyes 

Taste my tears 

On your tongue, 

Pull the blinds 

Play our song 

Nothings changed 

Nothing could be wrong.

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Scream in the night 

Kick and skrike 

Like a newborn 

Holding me shaking 

Awake in the dark 

All of these promises 

Kept and unbroken 

Tracing the scars 

Tracing the scars 

Even and cold 

As we both become older. 

Your arms bound about me 

The hush in your voice. 

The warmth of your fingers 

Entwined around mine 

In the eve of our lives 

Never a choice.
