Calais to Dover lyrics

Under a microscope of apoplectic vision

My face on a slide show, I looked totally unhinged

Forgot the Latin word, the name for this condition

Said I felt sick to get attention

Now this winter got an excuse to not go home

Rented a house out on the coast

Flying away, I heard a memory, your voice over the engine

So full of remorse and apprehension

Now that you’re gone

Now that I’m out here on my own

It won’t be long

‘Til I have to pay for what I’ve done

Tell me to stop

Tell me to watch the way I talk

Because nothing is changing

Don’t want to state the obvious

Threw up on the ferry ride from Calais back to Dover

As pale as the white cliffs that we faced

Wasn’t afraid, eventualities, just knew that it was over

No brushes with death could keep us sober

If I was in London I’d hold you to everything

If we were in Cardiff I’d just sing

But I’m stuck in Omaha obsessed with my inventions

There isn’t a name for this condition

Tell me I’m wrong

Tell me you understand my love

Tell me what’s off

What would you like to turn back on?

Tell me what’s gone

Make me a list of what you lost

Because everything’s changing

Don’t want to state the obvious

Tell me what’s wrong

Tell me I’ll pay for what I’ve done

Tell me what’s up

Pain like a big red rubber ball

I wish it would stop

I wish I could tell you it was gone

But nothing is changing

Sorry to state the obvious

Now that you’re gone

Tell me you understand my love

Tell me what’s wrong

Make me a list of what you lost

That’s all that I want

I’ll pay for what I’ve done

Nothing is changing

To state the obvious
