lyrics

draw a breath and then let it go plain enough but even so
i'm just paraphrasing - i'm just paraphrasing
picking up on every sign walking in a straight line
but i'm paraphrasing - i'm just paraphrasing

and it's a long time to go any more
but it's not far to go any more

pockets full of shaky hands making films making plans
but i'm paraphrasing - i'm just paraphrasing
slip into the great unknown you say hello i say hello
but i'm paraphrasing - i'm just paraphrasing

and i don't wanna miss any more
but i say i can't look any more
and i say i'm not looking any more
and i say i'm not looking

i'm feeling every note is flat but no one's even noticed that
i'm paraphrasing - i'm just paraphrasing
so give us iron and give us rope but don't abandon any hope
i'm just paraphrasing - i'm just paraphrasing

and i say i can't look any more
but i don't wanna miss any more
no i don't wanna miss it any more
no i don't wanna miss it

draw a breath and then let it go plain enough but even so
i'm just paraphrasing - i'm just paraphrasing

and it's a long time to go any more
but it's not far to g
