lyrics

george and i have spoken so many times
but he was hardly ever present
when i play each scene back in my mind
‘cos i played both our characters,
i wrote all our lines
but i remember every word he said
and i’m gonna make him answer
for every one of them

george is protesting now —
i say, “of course you are!
i need no more evidence
what i thought you would do
is exactly what you just now did
i laid out the future and you walked right into it
and there’s no need to even hear defense
‘cos i’ve measured out a case for neglect"

i put on dark clothes
i stood far from your windows
i counted hours alone while you were asleep
i waited out in the cold
i left when the cock crowed
i never knocked, though
your door was open to me
it was open to me

but now friend george has had enough
and he’s finally locked his gates
so with no frame left to project on
i hire strangers in his place
and against their blank expressions
i come to face to face
with the shrapnel buried in my side
that is twisting whenever i’m passed by

where some part of me was pushed away
when it needed a soft embrace
so from then on until today
i’m a live wire
and though the contact might
be incidental and oh so slight
at the faintest touch i
i see fire
i see fire

george will you forgive me?
though i’ve made you so tired
and every chance you gave i’ve given up
and your patience is expired
i’ve known that i hurt you
but now i think i might know why
and believe i could do well by
the space for one more try

would you give me one more try?
