    All of these grateful looks
    All of these grateful eyes
    All of these furious stares
    Ahese frightful sighs

    Promisin' everything
    To everyone
    We'll be back soon
    You're my favorite one

    And i'll keep it quiet
    I'll hold you dear
    The whisperin' fills the ear

    Tell me you'll stay
    We would have such fun
    And the lie,
    You don't need anyone

    The screams, the wails, and the cold
    The headiness of the fall
    Ten thousand miles from where we began
    Falling asleep with a picture in hand

    It was all
    For a woman

    You say that you're grateful for
    The time alone
    Two years away, now don't miss home
    And someone asks you if
    You ever think of her
    And you smile politely
    In mew de myore

    Then all at once
    Your head starts to swim
    You can feel her breath on your skin
    Find that you stand
    In the same spot for days
    She's above you, below you in ways

    And you're shivering cold like you're just ten years old
    While she's lying asleep in your bed
    And you're standing beside her, the light from inside her
    Filling up the darkness in your head

    It was all
    For a woman

    And you've drowned in the teasing
    You've forgotten the reason
    The muse inspires the art
    You'd give anything for her
    To say them once more
    The words you believed at the start

    Ten thousand miles from where it began
    Talling asleep with a picture in hand

    It was all
    It was all
    For the look in her eyes
    For the promise
    And the lies
    Of a woman

    Definitely some of these are wrong and also, I have no idea what the fuck he was saying after "and you smile politely" so I just sounded out what I heard. I really put those phonics skills I learned in kindergarten to work.

    "you smile politely and your demur"

    sometimes my fingers and my brain don't work together when typing ;)

    I just listened to the song while reading those lyrics - and "In mew de myore" literally made me laugh out loud :D
    Thanks for the lyrics! :)

    Like Ravenlilith, I thought it was "you smile politely and you demure" but that makes no sense to me!

    I'm pretty sure it's "the screams, the wails and the calls", rather than cold.. thanks again for posting them though :)

    Yeah, the problem for me is "demure" is an adjective.
    I don't see Mikel falling into the depths of "We so excited" just yet, so I must be wrong in something.

    "you're demure" as in you're shy/ affectedly modest or reserved. What's wrong with that phrase? It makes sense to me given what the song is about!

    You're demure makes sense, but You demure doesn't - think you're right though Danni and it's the former rather than the latter.
