lyrics.

The more that I spend next to you is the more I get sicker

Greying skies and rays of sunshine
Peeking through the curtains of the summertime
Sandy cars and your browning thighs
Kissing on your body til the sunrise

Every day I put on my protection
This big world is full of cruel people like you
All I ask is your time and affection
Lately all I get is goodbye, thank you

Please don't change your
Please don't change your mind
I don't have the time to go back on my word when I said that I'd be fine

Now I'm gonna go and take my words back
Pages from my past, don't be a copycat
Hold my head up high cause I deserve that
Deserve it, deserve it all

Why you asking where I'm gonna be?
You should, you should, you should know this
One more drink and I'll be straight to sleep
It's a Friday night, babe
But nevermind that
Nevermind that
If it's me you seek
I'll be waiting in the dragon's keep
Building my protection as we speak
But we both know
I'm hoping that you breach in
I pray you hear my preaching
I pray you hear me

There's resistance in your kiss, boy
There's a tension in your eyes
Why you've got to drift apart?
Only come out after dark
I don't want to feed you lies

Maybe there's a reason that you wanna go
I should start reflecting back on my M.O.
You happen to fit my favorite type cast
You are living proof to me I fall too fast, yeah

Why you asking where I'm gonna be?
You should, you should, you should know this
One more smoke and I'll be straight to sleep
It's a Friday night, babe
But nevermind that
Nevermind that
If it's me you seek
I'll be waiting in the dragon's keep
Building my protection as we speak
But we both know
I'm hoping that you breach in
I pray you hear my preaching
I pray you hear me

Fall, fall, fall too fast
Don't you know you
Fall, fall, fall too fast

The more that I wait, the more it gets bigger
The more that I spend next to you is the more I get sicker

Fall, fall, fall too fast
