We sang to “Don’t Stop Believing” I was eighteen and we’d just won Our souls in the starring of the sun And those girls were my life I had no notion of being a wife But you walked right in the door And suddenly I’m not my own anymore As you just look through the facade and you Can see I’m red in the places where you’re blue Now fast forward fifteen years And you have had your fair share of tears With a woman you swear is the one But I can see you, son And your anger bubbles water Over that goddess daughter And she looks past what you are I can see the star In you grow dim And her disappointment when she looks at him That she don’t recognise That emotion in his eyes And I would love to emote And play him back my favourite quote That I stole from his page Like a note in school that’s all the rage As we pass it to one another And I know you’ve got a lover But it doesn’t dim the want And it haunt As I know he’s foreign property I just don’t want her to fight with me Not even over you Interrupt your wedding to exclaim that you Are the one for me And set you free From the chains you chose But it was from the dead He rose And shone the light And though I see your kryptonite I can’t use it against you There is no defense you Can use to hide from me So I retreat and abide in the sea Between two opposite pairs of land Does she ever take your hand And mean what I did I heard it in your voice as you hid From me on the phone So I will leave it alone And commit myself to a mental institution Because that is the only solution That will keep me from profess That a white dress Was never needed to be wed And it doesn’t matter who you have in bed You’ll always be the flame that burns But it’s not from books that he learns
