"Newborn (Radio Edit)" lyrics - ELBOW

I'll be the corpse in your bathtub
Useless
I'll be as deaf as a post
If you hold me like a newborn, newborn

Whisper what you feel

My badly strung declaration
To you
You'll spend the end of your days
Gently smiling like a newborn, newborn

Whisper what you feel

My badly strung declaration
To you
You'll spend the end of your days
Gently smiling like a newborn, newborn

Love not by degrees

Press your lips to my eyes
Taste my tears on your tongue
Pull the blinds, play our song
Nothings changed, nothing could be wrong

Scream in the night
Kick and skrike
Like a newborn
Holding me shaking
Awake in the dark
All of these promises
Kept and unbroken
Tracing the scars
Tracing the scars
Even and cold as we both become older
Your arms bound about me, the hush in your voice
The warmth of your fingers entwined around mine
In the eve of our lives, never a choice
