Out looking for love when the city sleeps

It’s such a shame that our hearts don’t beat the same

Mirrors on the ceiling in the lonely bar

Talking to strangers when you’re out by yourself again

I suppose you regret telling me to leave?

Now I won’t wait around for your carousel

Did you say it a second, a second too soon?

And threw our love into the wishing well

 “Can’t you stay here?

We could talk it over.”

“I don’t think so

I lead this life of my own”

I’ve spent too long inbetween

The ties we burn eventually

And what remains unclean

Is it too hard to figure out

That I’ve lived it once and I could do without

Spell out your thoughts for the litany

And maybe one day it will become clear and real

Get back to the slipstream of your doubt

And I’ll drink the poison from the rain of bitterness

“Can’t you stay here?

We could talk it over.”

“I don’t think so

I lead this life of my own”

I’ve spent too long inbetween

The ties we burn eventually

And what remains unclean

Is it too hard to figure out

That I’ve lived it once and I could do without
