This Perhaps - The Twist Lyrics

What's it got to do with anyone else?
They say a problem shared
Oh yeah they sigh the sighs just so you know they care
But this is new, it's personal, it's one on one this life
We used to twist, used to turn together
Now it's sad she twists the knife

And so the clock ticks by
If she drops her guard I can make it hard
To wave goodbye

Caught reflections in the dipped mirror
But remembered don't look back
No excuses, no vengeance, I just want facts
The twist turns itself around and runs right off the track
Clues that show a murder's been committed
And the blood has hardened black

And so the clock ticks by
If she drops her guard I can make it hard
To wave goodbye
Don't wave goodbye
Don't wave goodbye

Smoke curls from the finger to the ceiling
And the hunch does not make sense
Loose ends, tight corners, and a case for the wrong defence
I'm staring down at red formica, espresso in my brain
It feels hot but it's not the news
Can I twist the plot again?

But no, the time's gone by
Now it's much too late and a twist of fate
Has said that I must say goodbye
And I don't want to say goodbye
I don't want to say goodbye
And so the clock ticks by
But I must say goodbye
And so the clock ticks by
I don't want to say goodbye
I don't want to say goodbye
I don't want to say goodbye
