THE FIXER (Bargaining)

Well, that's how it goes
Its a kiss, to the lips, from the tippy-toes
Some paper mache, a goldfish in a bag,
and an undiagnosable sigh.
Its the love in her eyes
If I admit that I need you around,
would you keep me from drowning?
...siren or saint?
If this ship is sinking, I'm pouring some drinks
If this ship is sinking, lets have a drink
I can patch, I can plug, I can fix anything
Well, that's how it goes
Its the love of your life shaking her head 'no'
Its the smile that you fake, its the nights laying awake,
its the feeling you cannot disguise.
Its the look in her eyes
Tell me you love me and I'll teach you to swim
Then we can go swim
I'll buy you a boat if you give me a grin
Give me one grin
Cause I can fix anything
You drown me in 'crazy' but you know I love every drop
If I admit that I need you around...
I'll wait by your 'hello' that's calling me home
Cause I've been a stranger, and you've been alone
And after a while in the sun, put this whole fucking beast in the ground
I'm tapping my S.O.S. out
