Jewel - Perfectly Clear lyrics

The doorway frames you

Picture perfect silhouette

A blue sky of regret

Enough to hang you

Your legs seem to tremble

At least I imagine that they do

Then again, it's probably easy for you

But please, don't open your mouth, my dear

I can breathe all the signs

I can take it from here

There's no need to explain

It's perfectly clear

Yellow wall paperpeels

Form a strange halo around your head

It's funny how I notice these stupid things instead

You say something awkward

But I wish that you wouldn't

A whole life of you wish you could's,

But just couldn'ts

Please, don't open your mouth, my dear

I can breathe all the signs

I can take it from here

There's no need to explain

It's perfectly clear

So I try not to think too much

It'd only just makes me bad

I spent half my life loving you

Think of all the love that I could've had

Five years worth of kisses are packed in your bags

A tiny moment fits all the big things we ever had

And I can't quite pinpoint what I left and what for

Love always steps lightly away from the door

Please, don't open your mouth, my dear

I can breathe all the signs

I can take it from here

There's no need to explain

There's no need to explain

It's perfectly clear
