At first, it was clear, it was easy to see Till you cursed and reversed
Like a book, like a cover you were easy to read Like a clock, like a mother you were curiously free Starring in a movie that was all about me You're the twist in the ending of the faraway tree
Everybody in the castle is fast sleep Wake up, stupid beauty no time to be weak
Underneath the covers that you wear on a sleeve Is a time and a place, everything that you leave Trying to be clever, isn't pretty for me Suffocating love, give me room to breathe Stuck in a movie that is all about me
Living in fiction and escaping a dream I thought you'd said you'd never had the measure of me Get up, its time to leave
