Lyrics Talk to Me, Talk to Me - Belle and Sebastian

I'm looking through a portal
It's got eyes and a mastery of gravity
I'm lucky to be here now, I was lonely
Talk to me, talk to me

I've got a new perspective
The glass in my hand, it ain't exactly full
The place at my table is an empty stool
Talk to me, talk to me

Confusion is trying to take a hold of me
All I wanted was peace inside a sanctuary
I lived my life so desperate to be in control
Scared of getting hurt again, but now I realise
It's all for nothing, all for nothing

I'm like the bugs that sleep for years
Conditions are ripe, they fly into the sun
The spectacle gets to you, life is always new
Talk to me, talk to me

From my waking sleep I fear
You're planning to prise yourself away from me
You're planning to exit from my misery
I can take a lot but I'm not prepared to face the alone

Confusion is trying to take a hold of me
All I wanted was peace inside a sanctuary
I lived my life so desperate to be in control
Scared of getting hurt again, but now I realise
It's all for nothing, all for nothing

All I want is your hand on mine
Slow rubbing, ecstasy of company
I'm facing the lonely night with my fading sight
Talk to me, talk to me

Many times I faced the wall
I called for the peace and now I've got it all
Peace grows into anguish when your heart leaks
Talk to me, talk to me

Confusion is trying to take a hold of me
All I wanted was peace inside a sanctuary
I lived my life so desperate to be in control
Scared of getting hurt again, but now I realise
It's all for nothing, all for nothing

Confusion is trying to take a hold of me
All I wanted was peace inside a sanctuary
I lived my life so desperate to be in control
Scared of getting hurt again, but now I realise
It's all for nothing, all for nothing

Delusions are all my present currency
They're causing the poison in my veins and voices
Hearing voices, telling me to beat the clock
Doctor, please release me now
I can't afford to waste another second
I can't waste it

Confusion is trying to take a hold of me
All I wanted was peace inside a sanctuary
I lived my life so desperate to be in control...
