A Letter to Elise - Live Paris Version

Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you say
 I just can't stay here every yesterday
 Like keep on acting out the same the way we act out
 Every way to smile forget and make-believe
 We never needed any more than this
 Any more than this
 Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you do
 I know I'll never really get inside of you
 To make your eyes catch fire the way they should
 The way the blue could pull me in
 If they only would
 If they only would
 At least I'd lose this sense of sensing
 Something else that hides away
 From me and you there're worlds to part
 With aching looks and breaking hearts
 And all the prayers your hands can make
 Oh I just take as much as you can throw
 And then throw it all away
 Oh I throw it all away
 Like throwing faces at the sky
 Like throwing arms round
 Yesterday, I stood and stared wide-eyed in front of you
 And the face I saw looked back the way I wanted to
 But I just can't hold my tears away the way you do
 Elise believe I never wanted this
 Thought this time I'd keep all of my promises
 Thought you were the girl I always dreamed about
 But I let the dream go
 And the promises broke
 And the make-believe ran out
 So Elise it doesn't matter what you say
 I just can't stay here every yesterday
 Like keep on acting out the same the way we act out
 Every way to smile forget and make-believe
 We never needed any more than this
 Any more than this
 And every time I try to pick it up like falling sand
 As fast as I pick it up
 It runs away through my clutching hands
 But there's nothing else I can really do
 There's nothing else I can really do
 There's nothing else I can really do at all
