Maximo Park Wraithlike Lyrics

heres a song that finally you can understand
a minor statement meant to counter act the bland
a list of wraithlike things
that quicken the heart

heres another song, a faded memory
a raisin de'tre for the entire family
i dont remember it well
i was in love for a spell

copies of sights and sounds
she left lying around on the floor
she said i forget her voice thats untrue
its just not as sharp as before

find some transparent words to give security
another vacant smile that says rely on me
no when comittments are bore
where have i heard it before

i could of sworn that everything was crystal clear but i was shackled by a language of ideas
a desert has its own rules
outside the circle is cruel

copies of sights and sounds
she left lying around on the floor
she said i forget her voice thats untrue
its just not as sharp as before

the final verse is often meant to tie things up
but in this case my morales have been most corrupt
i dont remember it well
i was in love for a spell

copies of sights and sounds
she left lying around on the floor
she said i forget her face thats a lie
its just not as real as before
