The Academy Blues Project - Telltale Signs Lyrics

My heart almost jumped out of my chest
Late last night when I heard you call
It got me all bothered and upset
The house I’d built up about to fall
Your words always felt sharp as a knife
They turned me pale white as a ghost
I always thought we were on the same plane
Now I can see that I’m stuck in coach
Since we have been together I can sleep alright (sleep alright)
No more clinging on to the day with a dread of night
And since we have been together I feel like a man (like a man)
Well I’m gonna hold on to you just as long as I can
Until you just can’t stand it...
Or just can’t stand
Your body once felt warm to the touch
How could it suddenly turn so cold
You used to lie there in my arms
Now it appears that you simply fold
I promised you that I could change
I won’t keep you walled behind closed doors
I promise we’ll never fight again
Never darling, nevermore
Since we have been together I can sleep alright (sleep alright)
No more clinging on to the day with a dread of night
And since we have been together I feel like a man (like a man)
Well I’m gonna hold on to you just as long as I can
Until you just can’t stand it...
Or just can’t stand
Our marriage bed wasn’t built from an olive tree (olive tree)
Our love may have turned as cold as the iron on which we sleep
But I swear to you my fair Penelope (Penelope)
I just can’t wait to return from this long, long, long odyssey
Our marriage bed wasn’t forged from an olive tree (olive tree)
Our love may have turned as cold as the iron on which we sleep
But I swear to you my fair Penelope (Penelope)
You’re gonna rue the day that you ever left me
Since we have been together I can sleep alright (sleep alright)
No more clinging on to the day with a dread of night
And since we have been together I feel like a man (like a man)
Well I’m gonna hold on to you just as long as I can
Until you just can’t stand it...
Or just can’t stand

My heart almost jumped out of my chest
Late last night when I heard you call
It got me all bothered and upset
The house I’d built up about to fall
Your words always felt sharp as a knife
They turned me pale white as a ghost
I always thought we were on the same plane
Now I can see that I’m stuck in coach
Since we have been together I can sleep alright (sleep alright)
No more clinging on to the day with a dread of night
And since we have been together I feel like a man (like a man)
Well I’m gonna hold on to you just as long as I can
Until you just can’t stand it...
Or just can’t stand
Your body once felt warm to the touch

Now it appears that you simply fold
