My Last Tango Lyrics - Singles - Nerina Pallot

Thousands, no millions of hours 

We've been skirting around this whole subject 

Like children stuck in a museum. 

And i'm dry now. 

My mouth will not speak, i'm weary and weak 

And I only wanted to see you again. 

If that's unfair, just let me know, 

Just write it down, and then i'll go. 

But you skate around my human skin 

An apple where your throat begins 

Just say.... 

Just tell the stars to give a sign, 

Put it in a bottle..... 

Say you're mine. 

And it's better, better than music, 

Better than words to be with you 

But better that we're apart. 

Can't you feel it? 

It's taken me over, left me for dead like Ophelia. 

Who knew a prince and survived? 

And so I ask in every line 

That I might learn of your design 

Because you skate around my human skin 

Your name is where my heart begins 

Just say.... 

Just tell the stars to give a sign, 

Put it in a bottle... 

Say you're mine. 

Because you skate around my human skin 

Your name is where my heart begins 

Just say.... 

Just tell the stars to give a sign, 

Put it in a bottle... 

Say you're mine.
