lyrics

I fell in love with a figment of my imagination,
Tough shit, far too much hesitation
I would like to learn to open my doors
But the handles aren’t there any more, I don’t know what for

You are the brightest soul that heaven’s ever seen
You’ve got the type of soul that’d make Jesus Christ look mean
I wish I could catch you, but you’re just too high for me
Fingertips are just out of reach, blind and I forgot how to see

I fell apart when you took my hand and kissed it
Just the start and I knew I couldn’t miss it
The space between us makes me want to fucking scream
Not as bad as it seems, wish I could keep you in my dreams
But oh, I wish a lot of things

You had the sweetest way of saying that it’s over
Your words are milk and honey, your voice a four leaf clover
You twist the language beautifully my dear
Tell me what I like to hear,
Tell me not to fear,
Your intentions were clear
I knew the song had to end and it looks like she’s right here
