Lyrics for Caroline

I was waiting for the bus one day Watched a fight between a artsy couple escalate Strawberry cheeks flushed with defeated rage Then he spilled his coffee as he frantic'lly explained Maybe if you took a breath You would hear me when I talk to you Threw her necklace in his face Eyes so bright with disappointment I saw something inside her break Everybody knows the feeling Suddenly he started screaming Caroline I swear to God I tried I swear to God I tried Caroline I swear to God I tried I swear to God I tried I swear to God I tried Swear to God I tried Ripped the hem of her skirt as she ran Panicking and weaving through the crowds on Oxford Street Watched his world dissolve in his hands Tried to roll a blunt then put his head between his knees ooh Maybe if she took a breath She would know I did it all for her Agony and hints of sage Her eyes blind with disappointment I couldn't recognize her face Shards of glass live in this feeling Have to somehow stop her leaving Caroline I swear to God I tried I swear to God I tried Caroline I swear to God I tried I swear to God I tried Caroline I swear to God I tried I swear to God I tried Caroline I swear to God I tried I swear to God I tried I swear to God I tried Swear to God I tried I swear to God I tried Swear to God I tried
