Over the head of you
Wanted an island to give to you
Never been subject to anything of this magnitude
It's all you've ever known
Signs of greater things to come
Love undone, love in constant spectacle
Where is tranquility?
Craving attention in all its forms
Watched you from a distance like a constant flaw
Under this certain spell
When desire is motionless

Oh-oh-oh

I won't hear when you call me
I won't hear when you're daunted
I won't hear the distortion
I won't hear when you're down
Just too far from interest (Down, down, down, down)
You weren't here when I wrote this (Down, down, down, down)
You weren't here when I noticed (Down, down, down, down)
You weren't here when I'm down (Down, down, down)

Over the head of you
Locked in a eye look of tenterhooks
First instalments captured of this magnitude
Though they're revealing
The incidentals of destiny
Attest to this tension, mourn these shadows
Or does the sorrow
Illuminate the air like a charm?

Oh-oh-oh


I won't hear when you call me
I won't hear when you're daunted
I won't hear the distortion
I won't hear when you're down
Just too far from interest (Down, down, down, down)
You weren't here when I wrote this (Down, down, down, down)
You weren't here when I noticed (Down, down, down, down)
You weren't here when I'm down (Down, down, down)
(Down, down, down, down)
(Down, down, down, down)
(Down, down, down, down)
You weren't here when I'm down (Down, down, down)
(Down, down, down, down)
(Down, down, down, down)
(Down, down, down, down)
You weren't here when I'm down (Down, down, down)
