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
