Found a little solace where you lay
Never made collages as a young child
Not that much to see, so much to say
Now even in this silence, there's a thunder
And rain that steals the breath beneath this cage
And at least I've got your memory to soothe me...
This bitter poison ripening with age
Because everything I've ever done, I've done because I love you
Silly you should ask
I'm afraid that I'll spend the better part of next year scared that I might need you
Bring me down and I'll feel again
Everything I've ever done, I've done because I love you...
Sideways... Sideways...
Lost my patience well before West 4th Street
Found a copper coin, said "Seize the day"
And I let the angry audience surround me
Hiding as I screamed "Give o'er the play"
And now even in this thunder, there's a silence
A shred of comfort standing at my door
And at least I've got the sense to reconstruct you
And leave me twice as lucid as before
Because everything I've ever done, I've done because I love you
Silly you should ask
I'm afraid that I'll spend the better part of next year scared that I might need you
Bring me down and I'll feel again
Everything I've ever done, I've done because I love you...
Sideways... Sideways...
And you left your mark
And you left your face
In the corner of my mind three times
You left your mark
And you left yourself
And at least I've got the sense to sense what's coming
And realize that good things never come to those who wait too long
Because everything I've ever done, I've done because I love you
Silly you should ask
I'm afraid that I'll spend the better part of next year scared that I might need you
Ya gotta bring me down, I'm gonna feel again
Everything I've ever done, I've done because I love you...
Sideways... Sideways...
