Everything Youre Not by Tim Bowness Lyrics
Cool reflections of imagined pasts -
Innocence that once was hot
Dumb impressions of a purer grasp
Hoping style will hide the rot
You give them everything you're not
Makeshift echoes of a vanished kind
All served up as something new
Faked excitement, practiced party lines
Nothing real can make it through -
You give them everything but you
Hoping style will hide the rot
You give them everything you're not
Half-remembered serenades
Age-old confessions watered down
(Getting louder as the magic fades)
Some nights you find yourself consumed
By lights that came from distant rooms
Innocence that once was hot
Dumb impressions of a purer grasp
Hoping style will hide the rot
You give them everything you're not
Makeshift echoes of a vanished kind
All served up as something new
Faked excitement, practiced party lines
Nothing real can make it through -
You give them everything but you
Hoping style will hide the rot
You give them everything you're not
Half-remembered serenades
Age-old confessions watered down
(Getting louder as the magic fades)
Some nights you find yourself consumed
By lights that came from distant rooms
