Bursting At The Seams

Words and Music by Mark Ryder

(Some of these lyrics are a bit dubious)

In the midnight heat I thought I heard you call my name
Or was it just the hustling in the street
The rustling of my feet
Have I been alone too long
They've always been in my subway trains
You left my heart just bursting at the seams

I heard a whisper
Was there someone right behind of me
Or was it just a ghost
Long and straight that lays on the trees
I'm out in so called Freedom Park
All them showed that, all I could see
Where all the shameless people try to hide in the backstreet
Like an everlasting dream

I need you, what you drop on me?
We swear to be lovers but I never knew what that would mean
I found it hard to admit defeat
You hurt me
I need you

Stumbling round in empty bars
Wishing I could have made a start
Want to be with you when they bring me down
I'm a prisoner of the dawn
Highways and byeways pass me but I don't know what they mean
I was just wishing I was some place else
Like an everlasting dream

I need you, what you drop on me?
We swear to be lovers but I never knew what that would mean
I found it hard to admit defeat
Oh my heart just bursting at the seams
You left my heart bursting at the seams
You left my heart bursting
Why did you break me baby
Oh baby, I need you baby

You left my heart bursting at the seams
You left my heart bursting at the seams
You left my heart bursting bursting bursting
You left my heart bursting at the seams
You left my heart bursting at the seams
You left me bursting bursting bursting
