Mew – “Cartoons and Macramรฉ Wounds” Lyrics

You drew me cartoons so playful
(Did you run away?)
Iโ€™m stuck now, Iโ€™ll carry light in a while
Iโ€™m stuck now that Iโ€™m carried white to the side
(Memories drown)
And you drew me cartoons so playful
Nobodyโ€™s gone tonight
You drew me cartoons

You watch it, they way youโ€™re always keeping score
You keep in store, you keep it

Iโ€™m not you โ€“ what a waste, me
When you give all you got and thereโ€™s already made plans

Put your hand in mine
We will go skating
On the thinnest ice that we can find

It takes me summer to say
It takes me winter in a day

Honestly, see
Theyโ€™re like you and me
Frozen when we start
We cannot help it
Easy to discard, taken apart
Put your hand in mine
We will go skating
On the thinnest ice that we can find

Tonight Iโ€™m watching the sky
The creatures you drew
They remain alive
The cushionโ€™s lighter
And what do you want?
Is this what happens to us now?

Sunk beneath the sea
Thatโ€™s no way to be
What came over me?
Drawn and held with you
This is what we do
We are weaving wounds
(94)
Iโ€™m a let you know
And just saying wonโ€™t make it so
(Macramรฉ)
Iโ€™m a say the words
In cemented ears they are heard
Would you like to be a crease in parasols?
Did I need to know? A wound in macramรฉ
Through all this we decipher!
And whatโ€™s worse: weโ€™re no wiser!
