HARPOON
ALBUM: HARPOON, 1998
Verse 1:
This will take some explaining but I think you will agree
There is no use pretending that there's hope for you and me
Chorus:
And I love her, but do you think she can see
When I tell her, it's the end for you and me
It was over, ever since you went and shot me
Like a harpoon
Like a harpoon
Like a harpoon in my heart....
Like a harpoon
Like a harpoon in my heart
Verse 2:
Yeah
I can handle the fighting, it's the affection I can't stand
And I don't mind us talking, just don't try and touch my hand
Chorus
Verse 3:
When you left I didn't want you back
But now your gone so won't you come right back
Come right back x 5
Chorus
Why does it hurt
Simple matters don't seem worth
We're the same but it's not happening again
Chorus

CLINT
ALBUM: HARPOON, 1998
Some things will stay the same
The shape of a power point won't change
And i won't back away and run
If you make me feel strange
She's the hand at the end of the arm
And she's got a lot to say
She thinks the world is falling apart
But that's okay she just wants to be happy
A place for everything and everything in its place
I get better, wait and see
She amazes me it's kinda hard to see in here
But there's nothing to see so who cares?
Drank coffee all night and now i can't sleep
I think i opened a secret file i let her look for a little while
And now i'm waiting for the ambulance to arrive
She just wants to be happy a place for everything
And everything in its place i had better wait and see
She amazes me
I couldn't understand the instructions
And the clock sounds like it's ticking slow
And this book is in another language
A language i don't know I used to tie double knots
But now i couldn't be fucked things are getting stupider all the time
She just wants to be happy
A place for everything and everything in its place
I had better wait and see she amazes me, you're confusing me
You're confusing me
SORRY
ALBUM: HARPOON, 1998
Verse 1:
I'm sorry that I fucked things up
And I'm sorry that sorry is never enough
But still I'm sorry I screwed your plans
But if everythings cool then I know not we could do
Yeah lets walk down to the school
We can watch the kids run home
And pretend that we're alone
Just like we used to be then
Chorus:
But it's harder to go back right now
Cos you never really know how
And the things that you once knew then
Go and change and then change again
But it's harder to go back right now
Cos you never really know how
And the things that you once knew then
Go and change and then change again
Verse 2:
I'm sorry that I wasted your time
And I'm sorry I wish you'd go waste mine
But that won't happen (won't happen) cos you're too nice
And the things that you do that I always thought were cool
Now I know it's only you so it's me that's been the fool
Cos I never even knew that's why I hate myself right
Chorus
SKI TRIP
ALBUM: HARPOON, 1998
Verse 1:
I don't wanna let you down
But I cannot have you hanging around
Hope you didn't fall for me
I am somebody that you could never see
Chorus:
Never been like this before
Tell me that there's something more
There never was a miracle in the snow
Should've let you know
Before I let you go
Verse 2:
You know I didn't act my best
I always thought I was a cut above the rest
Cos when you've been hurt yourself
Somehow makes it easy hurting someone else
Chorus
I RAN
ALBUM: HARPOON, 1998
I walk along the avenue
I never thought I'd meet a girl like you
with Auburn hair and stormy eyes
the kind of eyes that hypnotize me through
and I ran I ran so far away
I just ran, I ran all night and day
I couldn't get away
A cloud appears above your head
a beam of light comes shining down on you
the cloud is moving nearer still
Aurora Borealis comes in view
and I ran I ran so far away
I just ran, I ran all night and day
I couldn't get away
Reached out a hand to touch your face
you're slowly dissappearing from my view
reached out hand to try again
I’m floating in a beam of light with you
and I ran I ran so far away
I just ran, I ran all night and day
I couldn't get away
and I ran I ran so far away
I just ran,
I couldn't get away
