Serious

I feel alright but in the night
You start to fuss all serious
I can't explain each day again
Each piece of dust that touches us

Every drop of rain
Starts you off again

Baby, don't always try to save me
Isn't it true that maybe nobody is to blame?
Again
Baby, don't always try to save me
Maybe it's true that maybe
Living my life in soft focus
Why are you so serious?
Why are you always so serious?

We meet at eight, I hesitate
So why the fuss, I'm losing trust
No I'm confused, I'm being used
You're pulling stuff so obvious

Everything you hear
Starts you off again

Baby, don't always try to save me
Isn't it true that maybe nobody is to blame?
Again
Baby, don't always try to save me
Maybe it's true that maybe
Living my life in soft focus
Why are you so serious?
Why are you always so serious?

Like a beast
Still at peace
Like a river flows
(Will I ever be, you might never see)
That we'd be still at one
Maybe never know
(Will I ever be, you might never see)

Baby, don't always try to save me
Isn't it true that maybe nobody is to blame?
Again
Baby, don't always try to save me
Maybe it's true that maybe
Living my life in soft focus
Why are you so serious?
Why are you always so serious?

Baby, don't always try to save me
Isn't it true that maybe nobody is to blame?
Again
Baby, don't always try to save me
Maybe it's true that maybe
Living my life in soft focus
Why are you so serious?
Why are you always so serious?
