Tennis – I’ll Haunt You Lyrics

Image
I’ll Haunt You By Tennis As the sun slips over my shoulder I can tell I’ve been getting older Drawn to you like the horizon I’m the first one to break the silence I can tell I’ve been getting I can tell I can tell I’ve been getting I can tell As the sun slips over my shoulder All my need is pulling me closer Only you make this rock spinning Off to nowhere much more appealing On the edge of the earth On the crest of a wave How long can we stay like this Leaning in for one more kiss I’m holding you so long I will haunt you when I’m gone

Tennis – How to Forgive Lyrics

Image
How to Forgive By Tennis You take your love so freely Can’t you go easy on me? Hard to resist, harder to give up like a habit Why do you go losing control? What are you looking for? All this noise when I need silence Love shouldn’t feel like violence Swallow your pride, open up wide, let the whole world in Empty again, punish a friend, make ’em all suffer It’s so easy (I can’t help it) How could I disguise the way that I’m feeling? I’ve got my reasons, I could give you a million How could I disguise the way that I’m feeling? I’ve got my reasons, I could give you a million My mind has been divided And I’ve been questioning myself Can’t keep on hesitating It’s starting to affect my health Hard to resist, harder to give up my bad habits Why do I go losing control? What am I looking for? It’s so easy (I can’t help it) (I can’t help it) (I can’t help it) Oh, I know that I can’t control But it’s so hard to let it go All the worries, they keep coming back And th

Tennis – Echoes Lyrics

Echoes By Tennis Finally found a place to lay my head Looks so good from down here on this hospital bed I’ll be the one to be undone I’ll go where the sun isn’t shining Once I was young Those days are gone Suddenly I’m 33 and on a gurney Apologies and obligations All the myriad sensations compounding Echoes in my brain Echoed in refrain Always a replay Like a Grecian tragedy Oh, where the time goes Who really knows? You said, “Get a doctor, my wife’s going under” She’s off where the sun isn’t shining I thought I would argue Or cleverly bargain It looks like I won’t be going down stoically Oh, to love you and be loved To have the final memory of you compounding Echoes in my brain Echoed in refrain Echoes all the same way, away Away, away, ooh, ooh-ooh Oh, where the time goes Who really knows? Oh, where the time goes Who really knows?

Tennis – Swimmer Lyrics

Swimmer By Tennis Some summer you have planned for me Look at all these tourists as they flock to the sea Gettin’ in the water like it’s nothing But it’s not without a consequence I hear it comes quite naturally But that description doesn’t fit with me Not going over, never going under Not without a consequence The narrows, the river Empty into the sea Some summer you have planned for me Emptied into the sea Some summer you have planned for me Emptied into the sea Oh, oh, yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah Such a good man, had a good job I’d take up swimming for the Patriarch Now dispersed so casually like sediment into the sea The swollen moon all flushed with red One eclipse away from the bay of the dead It ain’t right, I’m telling you It’s more than coincidence One stroke at a time, on my way back to land It’s better for me with my feet in the sand Some summer you have planned for me Emptied into the sea Some summer you have planne

Tennis – Tender as a Tomb Lyrics

Tender as a Tomb By Tennis With my heart in my throat And the sun in my face Lying here in your arms I know this is the place I would never try to explain how it felt when we kissed Courting reason in dreams while my body resists I know my logic can lose you But I think that we could get used to My footsteps over the concrete blistering in June My heart leaps over the concrete, oh, I live for you Each footstep over the concrete, tender as a tomb My heart leaps over the concrete, oh, I live for you With my throat in my heart And my face on the sun In your arms, I will lay ‘Til my dreaming is done Buried under mountains of earth on the crest of a wave Courting reason in love is a terrible waste I know my logic can lose you But I think that we could get used to My footsteps over the concrete blistering in June My heart leaps over the concrete, oh, I live for you Each footstep over the concrete, tender as a tomb My heart leaps over the concrete, oh, I live for

Tennis – Late Night Lyrics

Late Night By Tennis Late night carried by the wind It took such a long time To make up my own mind Everything is changing But I would not attempt to control you I never could help myself I waste my time It’s taking a toll on my health I waste my own time Like Mary Magdalene, I’m on my knees again But if you see me as a saint You’d be mistaken Late night turning into morning blue It took such a long time To make up my own mind about you Now the sun hangs heavy and I can’t even lift my eyes To where it sits indifferently Unmoved mover of the sky I never could help myself I waste my time It’s taking a toll on my health I waste my own time Like Mary Magdalene, I’m on my knees again But if you see me as a saint You’d be mistaken I am the master of my ship My ship, the master of the sea Through a rhetorical distinction I think I’m finally feeling free For the first time For the first time

Tennis – Matrimony II Lyrics

Image
Matrimony II By Tennis I only have certainty when you hold my hand There’s so much I don’t understand Baby, we’ve been orbiting each other helplessly I guess that I blacked out but remembered to move my mouth So much for my vows More concerned with here and know No one knows of love that’s slow Held like the longest breath Or the gentle pull of gravity That’s being-unto-death I can’t go on living with a spark That’s only flickering I only want that tenderness With every moment left I could never find something better I even changed my name By my side in every kind of weather I’ll never be the same I could never find something better I even changed my name By my side in every kind of weather I’ll never be the same “Come closer”, you say Black cats in the neighborhood Aren’t necessarily a sign of something You know me so well There goes the neighborhood Let it all go burning down around us No one knows of love that’s slow Held like the longest breath Or
