Please don't be so near to me i think I've been really doing just fine without your touch,
I don't believe in miracles, I don't believe in much,
I don't believe in ghosts, but I believe that they taunt me,
I don't believe in ghosts, but I believe that you haunt me

Chorus:
I need some slow movement, with a familiar face and, some eye contact, and a smile here and there,
I need a slow movement, a Beethoven replacement, with no contract, and a crescendo here and there,

I wanna love you slowly while soft sad grand piano plays in another room,
I wanna appear lowly while unwanted photographers appear with a boom,
The cycle goes, barely friends once lovers
You said I could always give you a call but it's kind of hard when I burned your number
Another promise broken not out of spite but just because didn't remember
An old happy photograph that doesn't tell the whole truth, the speed of the shutt(dd)er

(Chorus)

I know you were drunk, drunk out of your head
but I know you meant every word you said
I'm still in love with a girl, who could never give me a straight answer
I was always so sure, she always had to think it over,
Now she's off doing something somewhere with some guy I never want to meet
As I sit here feeling sorry for myself and staring at my feet

(Chorus)

Now I'm ready for some fast movement, doesn't need a familiar face as long as the eyes are sure and they smile like the devil

(Chorus)

and a smile here and there, and a crescendo here and there,
and a smile, and a crescendo, and she smiles like the devil and it's done
