All Over

Oh simple thing, where have you gone?
Yeah, you're long gone now
Won't matter, I'll find you anyway

Was I just a ghost passing through you?
Cuz I don't understand the things you do
I'll meet you on the other side, bitter and hardened heart

Is this what you dreamed of?
Saving me, telling me life is beautiful
As your aching, your breaking

Be my friend and give me your hand
No, nothing goes wrong anymore
Your time has gone and I'm glad it's all over

(lyrics written by Keane)

Very true. Bedshaped is an amazing song -- hence the line "I don't understand the things you do."
