[Verse 1]
So soon
Just after you've gone
My senses sharpen
But it always takes
So damned long
Before I feel how much
My eyes have darkened
[Chorus]
Fear hangs a plane of gun smoke
Drifting in our room
So easy to disturb
With a thought
With a whisper
With a careless memory
With a careless memory
[Verse 2]
On the table
Signs of love life scattered
And the walls break
We go crashing within
It's not as though
As though you really mattered
Being close
How could I let you go
Without some feeling
Some precious sympathy following?
[Chorus]
Fear hangs a plane of gun smoke
Drifting in our room
So easy to disturb
With a thought
With a whisper
With a careless memory
With a careless memory
With a careless memory
With a careless memory
[Verse 3]
Oh, I walk out into the sun
I try to find a new day
But the whole place
It just screams in my eyes
Where are you now?
‘Cause I don't want to meet you
I think I'd die
I think I'd laugh at you
I think I'd cry
What am I supposed to do
Follow you?
[Chorus]
Outside the thoughts come flooding back now
I just try to forget you
So easy to disturb
With a thought
With a whisper
With a careless memory
With a careless memory
With a careless memory
With a careless memory
With a careless memory
Look out! Look out! Look out! Look out!
