  • You left it, I sent it
    I want it back
    You left it, I sent it
    I want it back

    If I had you here, I'd clip your wings
    Snap you up and leave you sprawling on my pin
    This plan of mine is oh so very lame
    Can't you see the grass is greener where it rains

    You left, I died
    I went and you cried
    You came, I think
    But I never really know
    I've served my time
    I've watched you climb
    The wrong incline
    But what do I know

    Accept it, don't let it
    Turn the screw
    Accept it, and let it
    Scream back at you

    Now this applies both equally to you and I
    The only thing we share
    Is the same sky
    These empty metaphors
    They're all in vain
    Like can't you see the grass is greener where it rains

    You left, I died
    I went and you cried
    You came, I think
    But I never really know
    I've served my time
    I've watched you climb
    The wrong incline
    But what do I know
    But what do I know

    In the garden Snake was a charmin'
    Eve said let's give it a try
    Now lead us not into temptation
    But no matter how hard I try
    When in the garden snake is a charmin'
    Eve says let's give it a try
    Eve is the apple of my eye

    Eve is the apple of my eye

    Eve is the apple

    And I lie behind you
    And I cradle you in the palm of me
    And I pat your hair down
    I think will we sink or swim?
    'Cause we could do either or none Publisher: BMG RIGHTS MANAGEMENT

  • Sophie from Dewit, NyI think the songs about a lover who left, "You left, I died, I went and you cried..." The timings never right or something. There are obstacles. I don't know the details. Just a guess...
