Wraithlike - Maxïmo Park

Here’s a song that finally you can understand

A minor statement meant to counteract the plan

A list of wraithlike things!

That quicken the heart.

Just another song a faded memory

A raison d’etre for the entire family

I don’t remember it well

I was in love for a spell

Caught beams of sights and sounds

She left lying around on the floor

She said i’d forget her voice, that’s untrue

It’s just not as sharp as before.

Find some transparent words that give security

Another vacant smile that says «rely on me»

No way commitments a bore!

Where have i heard it before?

I could’ve sworn that everything was crystal clear

But i was shackled by your language of ideas

A desert has it’s own rules

Outisde the circle is cruel

Caught beams of sights and sounds

She left lying around on the floor

She said i’d forget her voice, that’s untrue

It’s just not as sharp as before.

The final verse is often meant to tie things up But in this case my morals have been most corrupt

I don’t remember it well

I was in love for a spell

Caught beams of sights and sounds

She left lying around on the floor

She said i’d forget her face, that’s a lie

It’s just not as real as before.
