Barely (if At All) Lyrics - Singles - Verve Pipe

When my love complained, every word 

A breath on my last dandelion 

And so lovers will leave and their tears 

Souvenirs for the very first time 

I searched the world reluctant 

To find a lover enthusiastic 

Speak to me barely if at all, if at all 

When I was a boy, funny things 

Water wings kept you confident 

A belly of wine, similar 

To keep yourself indifferent 

I scraped the bargain basement 

Bought a lover less than fantastic 

Spoke to me barely if at all 

You taste perfume that burns my throat 

And I am free of envelope 

Squeeze an instant out of me 

She placed a hand between our lips 

How could anything be so precious 

She even kissed me barely if at all 

She, with her hand between our lips 

Gave me what we now have in common 

She left me barely if at all, if at all
