Au pays des merveilles

I don't want one night for them to call me
To tell me that you’ve run away
'Cause your train of thought
Hit the wrong track
I don't want one night for them to announce
That they found you in the thorns
'Cause some intrusive substance
Has derailed your ride

Go ahead, tell me what you’re missing
I’d rather you rob a bank
Than see you like this
You don’t need, don’t need that
And this bullshit with the traitors?
And this bullshit with the liars?
Go ahead, tell me what you’re missing?
Come on, let’s see where it’s hiding

I wish you’d come back
I wish you’d remember
I wish you’d remember
I wish you’d come back down
That you really hear me
That you really hear me
I wish you’d come back
I wish you’d remember
I wish you’d remember
I wish you’d come back down
That you really hear me
That you really hear me

I don’t want one night for them to write me
That you’re hiding under the endives
You took your last trip
For a bag of mirage
I don’t want one night for them to yell at me
I should’ve sensed you were alone
And that despite the help
And despite all the love
You got stuck back there
In Wonderland, at a standstill
Burned out in the good days of a crook
You fried your brain

I wish you’d come back
I wish you’d remember
I wish you’d remember
I wish you’d come back down
That you really hear me
That you really hear me
I wish you’d come back
I wish you’d remember
I wish you’d remember
I wish you’d come back down
That you really hear me
That you really hear me

That you remember your face
And drown those celebrities
I dreamed of being there
I was with Christ and his desires
Who took you from day to night
To forget the lack of love
Who took you from day to night
'Cause life calls for life
No, I’m not preaching to you
I’ll tell you, I even find it normal
To want to escape from it all
To fly away to the end of the line
My fingers behind have an exit
An invention at the corner of the street
Don’t say there’s nothing left of all that
I’m sure it’s there deep inside you
I feel it
I see it
I see it

I wish you’d come back
I wish you’d remember
I wish you’d remember
I wish you’d come back down
That you really hear me
That you really hear me
