Lyrics
i thought of you again and i just smiled
i'm sure just like before that it will last a while
you are not the easiest to capture, dear, from memory
but when i finally get the painting up
i'll analyze it right until the lights go off
and i won't leave, but stand in the same spot and hope that you come back to me
i dont know the way the story goes
but i was stolen long before you know
its like a fairy-tale
the damage has been done
dont leave me here alone
i was stolen long, long before you know
and the warning was so strong
but the timing wasn't good for me at all
and if we danced i know i'd lift you high
and bring you down so slowly with a lullaby
im certain i would kiss you then, and i could swear that you'd be kissing me
some say we've been dancing long enough
but i wont let you go until the song is off
and even then i might be holding on until the record ends
