lyrics

Drunk, I'm always drunk
when I'm with you
off to somewhere not quite real
no one feels the way we feel

Kiss me, we'll forget
all about them, park
under streetlights shadows, dark
with your boxed wine, hours we steal

I can't say I feel bad
if my virtue is ill-clad
on this barren ground
we skirt around
dwell the sainted and the mad

But we've put an end to all that
haven't we?
Yes, we have transcended all that
haven't we?

Life is so long

Slowly open up
I can't help you score
but I know what's in store:
tender limbs splayed, bruised, cruel floor

Touch me, don't forget
what we swore was true:
there's more than one way to love two
there's more than one way I'll take you

If not now, well, then when?
see, I'd do it all again
we're bright burning lights
in the curtained night
of life's starless mise-en-scene

But we've put an end to all that
haven't we?
Yes, we have transcended all that
haven't we?

Life is so long
Life is so long

We'll forget all about them
We'll forget all about them

Life is so long
Life is so long

Think Murmur, think The Good Earth. Guitars jangle and sparkle. Timeless, feelgood pop, what the world needs now. Thomas Mellaerts
