lyrics

Hello sir, may I touch your pony? / Will he bite me? / Will he hold me? / Hello sir, I heard you’re lonely / Does your mansion by the shore / Just not thrill you like before we met? / I don’t know why I thought I could come back / (I don’t know why, but I never would have told you) / When there’s nothing left of what we used to have / (I don’t know why, but you never get older) / Kalikrates, invert the ocean over me / Kalikrates, turn the meadow to the sea / Hello sir, don’t you know me? / And how you taught me how to cry / When you said the rabbit has a dark eye? / Now I know you’ve got another side / I don’t know why you try to hide it / They can never love quite like I / Recall me on your wedding night / I don’t know why I thought you’d understand / (I don’t know why, but I never would have told you) / When there’s nothing left of what we used to have / (I don’t know why, but you never get older) / Kalikrates, invert the ocean over me / Kalikrates, turn the meadow to the sea / I don’t know why I thought you’d wait for me / In here every human hurt is just debris / Kalikrates, invert the ocean over me / Kalikrates, turn the meadow to the sea / I don’t know why I thought you’d wait for me at all.
