Life Effect
Sorry for wasting your timeFive long months on the telephone line
Hours of asking if you were fine
And saying I was fine, too
Sorry, but I’ve got to go The birth was quick, but the death is slow
There was so much I didn’t now
So much I never knew about you
And so we disconnect
The room goes quiet around us It’s called the life effect
Will it always surround us Who made you happy last night
I don’t know his name, but Christ can he fight?
As I fell, he told me, «You had a light
A light that shone inside you»
I found myself a decent man now
I love him because I can
The bravest that I’ve ever been
Was when I ran away from you
And so we disconnect
The room goes quiet around us It’s called the life effect
Will it always surround us And so we disconnect
The room goes quiet around us Nothing left to protect
The end has finally found us The day is almost over
It’s almost time for bed
So now you’ve finally lost me Rest your weary head
