Palpitations in Love

Six Feet Deep

Another late night in a foreign town,

Thinking of her as I'm laying down.

Well it's a shot in the dark,

Another arrow nocked,

And it's aimed right at the empty part of me.

But I need to feel, something.

I've sat and thought for a while now,

But there's still one thing I just can't figure out.

Well I've racked my brain,

And I've squeezed my heart,

In effort to find what's been going on with me

I think it's you, baby

I've got stars in my eyes,

But I find that I've been going blind.

So I think it's time,

That I said goodnight to thee.

So I'll lay down to sleep,

Six feet deep underground.

Past, future, present with nothing to show,

I ask myself what do I really know?

Well it's a crying shame

That I feel this way

I just want to drop all the blame games and go

But sadly I move too slow.

So I'll catch a train and I'll ride away

I'll leave that place, I'll wear a brave face

Oh all these things I do

I don't do for you

It so sad but true don't you know

I was forced to let go

I've got ghosts in my room

I'm not scared because they're ghosts of you

I'll clutch our old heirloom

Yeah I'll be buried soon so weep

As I lay down to sleep

Six feet deep underground. 

All the ghosts and all the stars

They are counter parts

Restlessness is not scarce when you're gone

So I really need something strong.

A drinking binge or a night of love

A way back home or a large dose of what I need

That'll sure help me sleep

Six feet deep underground.
