I'm thirty thousand feet above Shanghai and you plague my mind
As I face the sea
A drunken widow cries, a politician lies
And I'm sat here in pointless ecstasy
The thought of you makes me go pale
Like a skeleton key
Or the alps in the winter
I can run, I can hide but I know I'll fail
It's a constant ache and you're a painkiller
The sky's dark like the clothes you wear
And sometimes I just couldn't bear
To face you another time
Because it's you that's always plotting on my mind
This is not a confession
It's more like a question
It's asking you if you would even think for a second
Of me on the train or on the water's edge
Or when you see two lover's silhouettes
A train rushes into the station, in another nation
While I'm stuck here in my desperation
(My desperation)
And it was plain to see you were made for me
Like cars were made for intimacy
Or people were made for the industry
This world was made for you and me
The thought of you makes me go pale
Like a skeleton key
Or the alps in the winter
I can run, I can hide but I know I'll fail
It's a constant ache and you're a painkiller
The sky's dark like the clothes you wear
And sometimes I just couldn't bear
To face you another time
Because it's you that's always plotting on my mind
This is not a confession
It's more like a question
It's asking you if you would even think for a second
Of me on the train or on the water's edge
Or when you see two lover's silhouettes
The sky's dark like the clothes you wear
And sometimes I just couldn't bear
To face you another time
Because it's you that's always plotting on my mind
This is not a confession
It's more like a question
It's asking you if you would even think for a second
Of me on the train or on the water's edge
Or when you see two lover's silhouettes
