"If You And I Are Not Wise" lyrics - THE LEMON TWIGS
[Chorus:]
Am I wearing a thin disguise
Or is there more than white in my eyes
Was I birthed in vain
Is it all the same if you and I are not wise
I could've sworn that I read so well
But now I squint my eyes and can't tell
The page was torn from the book but we were born to look
It's me and you in this hell
[Bridge:]
But I wish that someone would tell me
What my soul knows that I don't know
'Cause it's getting so very empty
In the garden but nothing grows
There's a voice whispers in my ear
You are less than you were last year
But it's all OK, 'cause it went away
And I have no use for this fear
[Bridge:]
Still I wish that someone would tell me
What my soul knows that I don't know
'Cause it's getting so very empty
In the garden where nothing grows
[Outro:]
Am I wearing a thin disguise
Or is there more than white in my eyes
Was I birthed in vain
Is it all the same if you and I are not wise
Was I birthed in vain
Is it all the same if you and I are not wise
