Who's gonna stop us from waltzing back into rekindled flames
If we know the steps anyway?
We embroidered the memories from 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 starry-eyed
I felt aglow like this
Never before, and never since
If you know that 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 buried
In your suit in tie, in the nick of time
You lowdown boy, you stand-up guy
Holy Ghost, you told me I'm
The love of your life
You said I was the love of your life
About a million times
Who's gonna tell me the truth
When you blew 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
All at once, the ink bleeds
A con man sells a fool a get love quick scheme
I felt a hole, like this
Never before, and ever since
If you know that in one glance it's legendary
What was once for all time was momentary
Still alive, killing time at the cemetery
Never quite buried
You cinephile, in black and white
All those plot twists and dynamite
Mr. Steal Your Girl, then make her cry
You said I was 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 the second-hand embarrassed
That I can't go to bed?
'Cause something counterfeit's dead
It was legendary
It was momentary
It was unnecessary
Should've let it stay buried
Oh, what a valiant roar
What a bland goodbye
A coward claimed he was lion
I'm combing through the braids of lies
"I'll never leave"
"Never mind..."
Our field of dreams engulfed in fire
Your arson's match, your somber eyes
And I'll see it until I die
Your the loss of my life
