Admit Defeat Lyrics

every drop of rain on my tongue slips and drips a different tune
pots and pans that clamour through the doorway to your patient room
elephants in every corner smitten by the way you move
rise from any pangs of disenchantment that i stir in you, oh

push away the beams of morning,
paralysed by pleasures unknown
the secret lovers in their fashion
waste your time all alone

oh the march you made along the street
the settle (?) plays the orphan as the fiddle pine leaves (?)
we all bear a similar stature feeling lighter
laying on the concrete

oh, my heedless voice be softer still
if there's anything you haven't destroyed
there'll be time to rejoice
there'll be time to rejoice

and every day that summer's path throw away like a paper plane
into a dark black cloud where hope is sparce and lightning rains (?)
if we ever make it through i swear to you i'll guide us home
to a nest of sheets and springs (?) where lovers never sleep alone

oh my heavy heart find another reason to beat
if i can't find comfort here
i'll leave you and admit defeat
i'll leave you and admit defeat
i'll leave you and admit defeat
i'll leave you and admit defeat
