Anything But Down lyrics

I light your cigarette

I bring you apples from the vine

How quickly you forget

I run the bath and pour the wine

I bring you everything that floats into your mind

But you don't bring me anything but down

You don't bring me anything but down

You don't bring me anything but down

When you come 'round

You are a raging sea

I pull myself out everyday

I plead insanity

'Cause I can't leave and I can't stay

You say won't you come find me? and yes is what I say

You don't bring me anything but down

You don't bring me anything but down

Everything is crashing to the ground

Well, maybe I'm not your perfect kind

Maybe I'm not what you had in mind

And maybe were just killing time

You with your silky words

And your eyes of green and blue

You with your still beliefs

That don't match anything you do

It was so much easier before you became you

You don't bring me anything but down

You don't bring me anything but down

Everything just crashes to the ground

When you come around

When you come around

Well, no more playing seek and hide

No more long and wasted nights

Can't you make it easy on yourself?

I know you wish you were strong

You wish you were never wrong

Well, I've got some wishes of my own
