Lately I've been wishing I had one desire |
|
Something that would make me never want another |
|
Something that would make it so that nothing matters |
|
All would be clear then |
|
But I guess I'll have to settle for a few brief moments |
|
And watch it all dissolve into a single second |
|
And try to write it down into a perfect sonnet |
|
Or one foolish line |
|
'Cause that's all that you'll get so you'll have to accept |
|
You are here and then you're gone |
|
But I believe that lovers should be tied together and |
|
Thrown into the ocean in the worst of weather |
|
And left there to drown |
|
Left there to drown in their innocence |
|
But as for me I'm coming to the final chapter |
|
I read all of the pages and there is still no answer |
|
Only all that was before I know must soon come after |
|
It's the only way it can be |
|
So I stand in the sun, and I breathe with my lungs |
|
Trying to spare me the weight of the truth |
|
Saying everything you have ever seen was just a mirror |
|
And you've spent your whole life sweating in an endless fever |
|
And laying in a bathtub full of freezing water |
|
Wishing you were a ghost |
|
But once you knew a girl and you named her lover |
|
And danced with her in kitchens through the greenest summer |
|
But autumn came, she disappeared |
|
You can't remember where she said she was going to |
|
But you know that she is gone 'cause she left you a song |
|
That you don't want to sing |
|
Singing I believe that lovers should be chained together |
|
And thrown into a fire with their songs and letters |
|
And left there to burn |
|
Left there to burn in their arrogance |
|
But as for me I'm coming to my final failure |
|
I've killed myself with changes trying to make things better |
|
Ended up becoming something other than what I had planned to be |
|
Alright |
|
Now I believe that lovers should be draped in flowers |
|
And layed entwined together on a bed of clover |
|
And left there to sleep |
|
Left there to dream of their happiness |
