Threes and Fives

from The Waterworks (demo) by Pete Davis

/

about

This might be my favorite song on the album. It was inspired by a nightmare. Threes and fives represent the numbers of words in phrases.

lyrics

Honey, wake up, the sun’s about to rise.
You’ve got to stop shaking so violently,
Lest you strike a nerve.
Your meaning’s so diverse.
And you can’t look me in the eye when I’m speaking.
It’s just like you not to care.
Say what you mean, do what you say,
It’s hard for me to remember so long, when we were strong, and so alive,
And we breathed in threes and fives.
When we touched it burned the skies and my fingertips. I’d love to have hated you.
And this is what I get when I’m dying from diseases,
You’re stricken with a virus, and wounds in all your places.
And when I’m gone through heartbreak, your all is maimed and broken,
When I cry you drown yourself, well this is it.
It’s always something with you.
