Who’s gonna stop us from waltzing back into rekindled flames
If we know the steps anyway
We embroidered the memories of the time i was away
Stitching we were just kids babe
I said i don’t mind it takes time
I thought i was better safe than starryeyed
I felt a glow like this
Never before and never since,
If you know it in one glimpse It’s legendary,
You and I go from one kiss to getting married
Still alive, killing time at the cemetery
Never quite married
And your suit and tie, in the nick of time
You’re low-down boy, you’re stand-up guy,
You’re holy ghost,
You told me I’m the love of your life.
You said I’m the love of your life.
About a million times.
Who’s gonna tell me the truth
When you blew in with the winds of fate
And told me I reformed you
When your impressionist paintings of heaven turned out to be fakes
Well you took me to hell too
And all at once, the ink bleeds
A conman sells a fool a get love quick scheme
But I felt a hole, like this
Never before and ever since
If you know it in one glimpse It’s legendary,
What we thought was for all time was momentary
Still alive, killin time at the cemetery
Never quite buried
You cinephile In black and white
All those plot twists and dynamite
Mr. Steal your a girl, then make her cry
You said I’m the love of your life.
You shit-talked me under the table
Talking rings and talking cradles
I wish I could unrecall how we almost had it all
Dancing phantoms on the terrace
Are they second-hand embarrassed
That I can’t get out of bed?
Is something counterfeits dead?
It was legendary.
It was momentary.
It was unnecessary
Should I let it stay buried?
Oh, what a valiant roar.
What a bland goodbye
The coward claimed he was a lion
I’m coming through
The braids of lies
I’ll never leave
Never mind
A field of dreams
Involved in fire
Your arson match
Your somber eyes
And I’ll still see it
Until I die
You’re the loss of my life
