Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Babe
There's something tragic about you
Something so magic about you
Don't you agree?
[Verse 2]
Babe
There's something lonesome about you
Something so wholesome about you
Get closer to me
[PreChorus]
No tired sigh
No rolling eyes
No irony
No "Who cares?"
No vacant stare
No time for me
[Chorus]
Honey, you're familiar
Like my mirror years ago
Idealism sits in prison
Chivalry fell on his sword
Innocence died screaming
Honey, ask me, I should know
I slithered here from Eden
Just to sit outside your door
[Verse 3]
Babe
There's something wretched about this
Something so precious about this
Where to begin?
[Verse 4]
Babe
There's something broken about this
But I might be hoping about this
Oh, what a sin
[PreChorus]
To the strand
A picnic planned for you and me
A rope in hand
For your other man to hang from a tree
[Chorus]
Honey, you're familiar
Like my mirror years ago
Idealism sits in prison
Chivalry fell on his sword
Innocence died screaming
Honey, ask me, I should know
I slithered here from Eden
Just to sit outside your door
[Chorus]
Honey, you're familiar
Like my mirror years ago
Idealism sits in prison
Chilvary fell on his sword
Innocence died screaming
Honey, ask me, I should know
I slithered here from Eden
Just to hide outside your door
