Mosquito on the Wall lyrics

I'm the mosquito on your wall and the doubt in your mind

The 17 missed calls and the key you can't find

Desperation does as desperation feels

I'm the alarm that doesn't sound and the cork in your wine

Your snapped heel on the town and all transactions declined

You were the one song that I could not perform

You used to be my Shelter from the Storm

And its cold out on the West Coast and it's lonely by the sea

And the unemployment's rising and the pigeons never leave

And you said we were forever as you held me to your chest

I was not your piece of clay, dear

I was your lump of lead

I'm the speed camera in the tree and the fine you can't pay

The spinning beach ball on your screen and the crap excuse when you're late

You were the only book to ever put me in a trance

Yeah, you used to be my Amber Spyglass

And it's cold now on the West Coast and it's lonely by the sea

And the unemployment's rising but we're still somewhat upbeat

And you said we were forever as you held me to your chest

But I was not your your piece of clay, dear

I was your lump of lead

No slow dancing in the dark

No lifeless kisses in my car

No awkward chats to family

No Type A personalities

No same two albums on repeat

Endlessly rolling in the deep

Spending each Friday night at home

I have more fun when I'm alone

I have more fun when I'm alone

And it's cold now on the West Coast, yeah, it's lonely by the sea

And the unemployment's rising and we're still off to Tenerife

Because we know we're not forever

We'll do no more than try our best

We'll never be their piece of clay, dear

We'll be their lump of lead
