Like throwing arms 'round
Oh Elise, it doesn't matter what you do
I know, I'll never really get inside of you
At all
And make-believe we never needed
There's nothing else I can really do
Like keep on acting out the same
Any more than this
To make your eyes catch fire
The way the blue could pull me in
But I let the dream go and the promises broke
I thought this time, I'd keep all of my promises
So Elise, it doesn't matter what you say
With aching looks and breaking hearts
I thought you were the girl, I always dreamed about
But there's nothing else I can really do
Every way to smile, forget
Yesterday, I stood and stared, wide-eyed in front of you
There's nothing else I can really do
Oh I throw it all away
The way we act out
And make-believe ran out
Like falling sand
And all the prayers your hands can make
Like throwing faces at the sky
And every time I try to pick it up
I just can't stay here every yesterday
Any more than this
Every way to smile, forget

If they only would, if they only would
And the face I saw looked back the way I wanted to
Oh I just take as much as you can throw
Any more than this
As fast as I pick it up
I just can't stay here every yesterday
Like keep on acting out the same
Oh Elise, it doesn't matter what you say
And then throw it all away
And make-believe we never needed
At least I'd lose this sense of sensing something else

It runs away through my clutching hands
Any more than this
But I just can't hold my tears away the way you do
The way they should
Elise believe, I never wanted this
The way we act out
That hides away
From me and you, there're worlds to part
