Lyric Love: This Losing
Ok, yes. I’m still stuck on this band, The Airborne Toxic Event. Can I help it that I appreciate musical genius? But seriously. This song of theirs I am unable to listen to just once, and in fact have to put on repeat 5 times in a row. Something about it just gets me every time.

This Losing
by The Airborne Toxic Event
Standing at your doorway
with my stomach all tangled and tight.
Have it your way,
Oh, God, where are you tonight?
‘Cause I don’t know what I’m doing here,
Where to begin?
Just take a deep breath,
and darling, don’t let me in.
A thousand times we’ve said
“I’m sorry, it’s over again.
I can’t live like this, feel like this
in my own skin.”
It all seems so degrading
in the morning, such sin.
Your face just like a child -
Oh, darling, don’t let me in.
And we laugh just like children
and wade in the sheets on your bed
while we secretly pray
like we’re mourning the dead.
And you tell me you’re so weary,
I know, cause I’m weary, too.
You hold back the tears;
darling, what are we to do?
And the wine, and the rain
and the feel of your skin against mine:
I’m swimming, I’m flying, I’m dying.
This face, this fear
this stay with me,
oh, stay with me my dear.
This hand, this glove;
This only thing I love.
This losing, this losing
this losing, this losing
this losing, this losing
