Mistake in Parting

[Verse 1]
Your face was as clean as any boy I'd ever seen
And your taste was so familiar, I swear I'd licked your skin before
I don't want to be a mistake in parting from her
Did I make you realize that she's the only one you'd die for?

I pined for the day when my skin melted away
And you held me close and declared this is all you've...
Was I just a voyeur
Into some sort of innocent unknown
And are you satisfied now, that you've had me?

Now, I fear you'll never take me in again
It was far from perfect and reminds me of all the places
Even as we lay together in one bed
Now the absence of your kiss is plaguing me

[Chorus]
Your eyes shining in the light of day

[Verse 2]
I don't want to be here, I don't know where I want to be
Or where I am going, I am just so unsatisfied
I'm looking for aggressive places I have loved and been
And people I have lost along the way, now you are one of them

We are a product of our mothers
We are a vision of despair
And knowing that I knew you in this bed
Makes me want to die in this room

[Chorus]
Your eyes shining in the light of day
Your eyes shining in the light of day

[Verse 3]
Now you've got your words, you've got your girl
And I sit here wondering what does she have that I don't have?
She's got her plans, she's got your hands around her waist
And I ask myself if this all ever so was real (?)

Is domination what this is all about?
You took the easy way out
My heart is much too sensitive for this

I need someone who will tell me the truth
And not just pieces of information
That make me feel like you're lying to me

I think you're playing both sides of the fence
Your eyes burn in the light of day
Are you telling the truth? Are you telling the truth?
Are you telling the truth?

[Verse 4]
It's such a simple world we live, we just create all these problems
And then suffer as we try to solve them
The human condition is so fucked up and miserable
That's why we need to love someone, tell me where I can find it

Please, I need it, I need someone to hold me close
And declare you are my one and only love
Please, I need it
Someone tell me where I can find this love

[Chorus]
Your eyes shining in the light of day
Your eyes shining in the light of day
