lyrics

as close as i recall is much too close after all. but you might remember me underneath the pleasantries. this was a romance. a screaming came across the sky. we made love like fireflies singeing the oceans till the oceans dried out. this was a romance. it was ours. was it worth our second glance? something inside me is undone. this was a romance that fed upon our nonchalance. something inside me is unwound. this was a romance. it was a farce. but it was ours.
