Oh Elise
It doesn't matter what you say I just can't stay here every yesterday
Like keep on acting out the same; The way we act out
Every way to smile, forget and make-believe we never needed any more than this
Any more than this

Oh Elise
It doesn't matter what you do I know I'll never really get inside of you
To make your eyes catch fire the way they should
The way the blue could pull me in
If they only would, If they only would
At least I'd lose this sense of sensing something else that hides away

For me and you, they're worlds apart
With aching looks and breaking hearts
And all the prayers your hands can make
But I just take as much as you can throw
And then throw it all away, oh I throw it all away

Like throwing faces at the sky; Like throwing arms round yesterday
I stood and stared wide-eyed in front of you
And the face I saw looked back the way I wanted to
But I just can't hold my tears away the way you do

Elise, believe I never wanted this
I thought this time I'd keep all of my promises
I thought you were the girl I always dreamed about
But I let the dream go and the promises broke
The make-believe ran out

So Elise
It doesn't matter what you say I just can't stay here every yesterday
Like keep on acting out the same; The way we act out
Every way to smile, forget and make-believe we never needed any more than this
Any more than this

And every time I try to pick it up; Like falling sand
As fast as I pick it up it runs away through my clutching hands
But there's nothing else I can really do
There's nothing else I can really do
There's nothing else I can really do, at all
