lyrics

I picked up a new rear view today
to help put this behind me
and now I watch things fall away
and vanish to a point

the sun settles round like a halo going down
and even faces vanish
in silver glass and tarnish
my memories they drain away...

oh KEEP ME KEEP ME
please never abandon me
oh say that you Love me
say that you Love me for my

it's so sweet how cheap they come
with free adhesive and brand new perspective
I'm amazed at the Lives I can buy
for 19.95

but the finest angle and the finest light
points to the backseat where I have been hiding
I'm so sick of smiling
And I've been showing my teeth for all the wrong reasons.

oh KEEP ME KEEP ME
please never abandon me
oh say that you Love me
say that you Love me for my

body always lies
we excuse our hands
crossing lines
they are miscreant to say the least

but what you say is what you are
in the moment and in the now
don't write it down and don't lie back
I want you eye to eye to eye to eye.
eye to eye to eye to eye.

the only way to sharpen some things is to break them
you can grind and grind and grind and grind
and never reach the point

so the glass met asphalt with a vengeance
and look at me
I'm the holder of a thousand bloody points of view
and I just keep smiling.

oh KEEP ME KEEP ME
please never abandon me
oh say that you Love me
say that you Love me for my
self.
