Oh Elise, it doesn't matter what you say
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

So Elise, it doesn't matter what you do
You 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

From me to you there are worlds apart
With aching looks and breaking hearts
And all the signs 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

The way I wanted it to
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
And 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
Nothing else I can really do
There's nothing else I can really do, at all
