The Crush and the Shatter Songtext
von Paul Smith
The Crush and the Shatter Songtext
It′s dull and sustained
But you never asked
It was all in the note
Delivered by hand
I saw your scarf into the letterbox
Monologue times two equals conversation
People explain but it does no good
I broke my own heart by waiting too long
The crush and the shatter
As our lives scatter
If I didn't see it then it didn′t happen
The land plateaus
And industry grows
Filtered light contracts
In the glittering towers
The clogs you get the less you've impressed
In a room full of strangers I withdraw
Contact in vain but it does no good
I would've explained but you′ve long gone
The crush and the shatter
As our lives scatter
If I didn′t see it then it didn't happen
But you never asked
It was all in the note
Delivered by hand
I saw your scarf into the letterbox
Monologue times two equals conversation
People explain but it does no good
I broke my own heart by waiting too long
The crush and the shatter
As our lives scatter
If I didn't see it then it didn′t happen
The land plateaus
And industry grows
Filtered light contracts
In the glittering towers
The clogs you get the less you've impressed
In a room full of strangers I withdraw
Contact in vain but it does no good
I would've explained but you′ve long gone
The crush and the shatter
As our lives scatter
If I didn′t see it then it didn't happen
