can't we stay here forever?


Can you hear my voice
is it getting distant by your standards
or am I imagining the life that's slipping out of me
to create a mellow setting in which we can laugh
over the tiny things that used to make me
want to tear down the wallpaper

I know I'm not your favourite
subject matter to run over with your mobile home
but you know I'm always gonna stay here even if
I might call out to you and scream
she's better than me

Can you hear my voice
is it getting dark you think
or is it just the cat playing tricks
on my imaginary friends who used to make me laugh
so hard it made me
want to tear down the wallpaper

Can you hear me can you still?

What's it about? Maybe the building's a tad too high.
