Newborn by Elbow

I'll be the corpse in your bathtub, useless
I'll be as deaf as a post
If you hold me like a newborn, newborn
Whisper what you feel

My badly strung declaration to you
You'll spend the end of your days
Gently smiling like a newborn, newborn
Whisper what you feel

My badly strung declaration to you
You'll spend the end of your days
Gently smiling like a newborn, newborn
Love not by degrees

Press your lips
To my eyes
Taste my tears
On your tongue
Pull the blinds
Play our song
Nothings changed
Nothing could be wrong

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Scream in the night
Kick and strike
Like a newborn
Holding me shaking
Awake in the dark

All of these promises
Kept and unbroken
Tracing the scars
Tracing the scars

Even and cold
As we both become older
Your arms bound about me
The hush in your voice

The warmth of your fingers
Entwined around mine
In the eve of our lives
Never a choice
