It's a stretch I know, I've given in   But it's crawling in the background   And your veins were shot, with everything   That I could never give you   But I couldn't live without you      I saw your shadow yesterday   But I just turned the other way   I turned the other way      Here we go up and down again   I never knew how to be your friend   But you were always everyone to me   Everyone to me      You couldn't tell me why, you hung your head   So low when you spoke   But I knew enough about you   And the flowers that, you pushed aside   They dried back into nothing   But you couldn't live without them      I saw your shadow yesterday   But I just turned the other way   I turned the other way      Here we go up and down again   I never knew how to be your friend   But you were always everyone to me   Now I'm staring at your face again   I'm thinking about the shape I'm in   But you were always everyone to me   Everyone to me   Everyone to me      It's a stretch I know, I've given in   But it's crawling in the background   And your veins were shot, with everything   That I could never give you   But I couldn't live without you   No I couldn't live without you      I saw your shadow yesterday   But I just turned the other way   I turned the other way      Chorus
