lyrics

this voice from far away
don’t pin your hopes too high
like a swell from older days
awash with shame and lies

what I wanted you to be
you have never been for me
what I wanted you to see
you have never seen – never seen in me

I let the curtain fall
never pin your hopes too high
not a picture on the wall
lock the door until you die

what I wanted you to be
you have never been for me
what I wanted you to see
you have never seen
have you ever seen anything in me

and how could I lose somebody
I never had in the first place
forging a story that’s never been told
and how could I miss somebody
that was never there behind his face
how do you feel for somebody cold
never spoke – not a word

what I wanted you to be
you have never been for me
what I wanted you to see
you have never seen
have you ever seen anything
have you ever seen anything in me

The Electric Era is a three-piece indie band from Auckland, New Zealand.

They also claim David Bowie, Joy Division, Wire and Magazine as their sonic godfathers.
