Lyrics Orange & Lemons – Eleven Minutes
Text:
Night by night I try to make things happen
Whenever I’m alone
I go to places
Where just like me
Where smiles are full
But the hearts are empty
Oh, just like me
Only the lonely
Can I be your friend tonight?
Can I fill the spaces between your eyes
And the chairs beside you?
I maybe a stranger
But so are you
So tell me your name
Pretend that I am someone
You can possibly, likely spend
Eleven minutes of masquerading madness
Tell me who you are
Don’t get too far
Sometimes birds don’t need to fly that great a deal
To really understand just how I feel
Night by night I try to make things happen
Oh, just like you and me
Only the lonely
Can I be your friend tonight?
Can I fill the spaces between your eyes
And the chairs beside you?
I maybe a stranger
But so are you
So tell me your name
Pretend that I am someone
You can possibly, likely spend
Eleven minutes of masquerading madness
Tell me who you are
Don’t get too far
Sometimes birds don’t need to fly that great a deal
To really understand just how I feel
Night by night I try to make things happen
