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 starry-eyed
+
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 buried in your suit and tie
+
In the nick of time
+
You low-down boy, you stand-up guy, you 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 never since
+
If you know it in one glimpse, it's legendary
+
What we thought was 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'm the love of your life
+
You talked me under the table
+
Talking rings and talking cradles
+
I wish I could un-recall how we almost had it all
+
Dancing phantoms on the terrace
+
Are they secondhand embarrassed
+
That I can't get out of 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
+
The coward claimed he was a 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 still see it until I die
+
You're the loss of my life
+
