Minuet

Eyes are just dark from no surprise Jeopardize what we never realize To be alright Throwing snowballs in the dirt and wasting time Never slowing down to learn but darling I find We were lovers then for sure like cyanide Like a one-note minuet and try as I might Try to control you now Try to extol you now Knowing it's no surprise That tomorrows seem to dance in your eyes It's no surprise That you love the things you idealize Our scattered lines I'm forgetting how to finish words sometimes Never standing up to write but darling I find I'm an aimless clock that's running out of time And I don't know how to love But darling don't cry We've got futures drowned in old forgotten wine While the cities start to shrink and darling we'll fly Over countless decades someone else will buy From the wrinkles of a face That glows in the night And I'd love to love you girl but darling I Never loved the same as you you dance in the light You retire when these words hold on too tight And your smile starts to fade to look at my eyes See how they watch you now Write where I lost you and how See how they watch you now Cry where I lost you To be alright But I gave up long ago and it's such a fight To be so romantic now but god how I try To be always so in love with you but I'm Just a twisted minuet you dance in the light I'm an aimless living devil in the night And a one-note minuet to play til you —
