White Lies — Unfinished Business lyrics

Lyrics

Just give me a second darling to clear my head
Just put down those scissors baby on this single bed
The sand in the hourglass is running low
I came through thunder, the cold wind, the rain and the snow
To find you awake by your windowsill
A sight for sore eyes and a view to kill
I broke down in horror at you standing there
The glow from the moon shone through cracks in your hair
I shouted with passion, «I love you so much»
But feeling my skin, it was cold to the touch
You whispered, «Where are you?»
I questioned your doubt
But soon realized you were talking to God now
You’ve got blood on your hands and I know it’s mine, I just need more time
So get off your low and let’s dance like we used to But there’s a light in the distance waiting for me, I will wait for you
So get off your low, let’s kiss like we used to I looked in the mirror but something was wrong
I saw you behind but my reflection was gone
There was smoke in the fireplace as white as the snow
A voice beckoned gently, now it’s time to go
A requiem played as you begged for forgiveness
«Don't touch me», I screamed
«I've got unfinished business»
You’ve got blood on your hands and I know it’s mine, I just need more time
So get off your low and let’s dance like we used to But there’s a light in the distance waiting for me, I will wait for you
So get off your low, let’s kiss like we used to You’ve got blood on your hands and I know it’s mine, I just need more time
So get off your low and let’s dance like we used to But there’s a light in the distance waiting for me, I will wait for you
So get off your low, let’s kiss like we used to
