Admit Defeat Lyrics - Singles - Great Bloomers

Every drop of rain on my tongue 

Slips and drips a different tune 

Pots and pans that clamor 

Through the doorway to your patient room 

Elephants in every corner 

Smitten by the way you move 

Writhe from any pang of disenchantment that I stir in you 

Push away the beams of morning 

Paralyzed by pleasures unknown 

Secret lovers in their fashions 

Waste their time all alone 

Oh, the march we made along the streets 

Set ablaze our orphan eyes with little pine leaves 

We all bear a similar stature 

Feeling lighter laying on the concrete 

Oh, my heedless voice 

Be softer still 

If there's anything you haven't destroyed 

There'll be time to rejoice 

Every day that stumbles by 

I throw away like a paper plane 

Into a dark black cloud where 

Hope is sparse and lightning reigns 

If we ever make it through 

I swear to you, I'll guide us home 

To a nest of sheets and springs 

Where lovers never sleep alone 

Oh, my heavy heart 

Find another reason to beat 

If I can't find comfort here 

I'll leave you and admit defeat
