Bright Eyes - A Perfect Sonnet Lyrics
Lately I've been wishing I had one desireSomething that would make me never want anotherSomething that would make it so that nothing mattersAll would be clear thenBut I guess I'll have to settle for a for a few brief momentsAnd watch it all dissolve into a single secondAnd try to write it down into a perfect sonnetOr one foolish lineCause that's all that you'll getSo you'll have to acceptYou are here and then you're goneBut I believe that lovers should be tied togetherThrown into the ocean in the worst of weatherLeft there to drownLeft there to drown in their innocenceBut as for me I'm coming to the final chapterI read all of the pages and there's still no answerOnly all that was before I know must soon come afterThat's the only way it can beSo I stand in the sunAnd I breathe with my lungsTrying to spare me the weight of the truthSaying everything you've ever seen was just a mirrorYou've spent your whole life sweating in an endless feverAnd laying in a bathtub full of freezing waterWishing you were a ghostBut once you knew a girl and you named her "Lover"Danced with her in kitchens through the greenest summerBut autumn came, she disappeared, you can't rememberWhere she said she was going toBut you know that she's goneCause she left you a songThat you don't want to singSinging, I believe that lovers should be chained togetherThrown into a fire with their songs and lettersLeft there to burnLeft there to burn in their arroganceBut as for me I'm coming to my final failureI've killed myself with changes trying to make things betterAnd ended up becoming something otherthan what I had planned to beAll rightI believe that lovers should be draped in flowersAnd laid entwined together on a bed of cloverLeft there to sleepLeft there to dream of their happiness
