lyrics

Overlong

Honey hung the moon in the sky for me
And I can never forget.
Just as the stars were closing up shop for the evening
They stayed open ‘till we fell asleep

You’re like the curve of the scenery, the ball of the earth
You mean the world to me
Remember times when I have underestimated it’s worth
But now it’s everything.

Heroes lay having died in defense of life, turning love into a myth
You and I can turn it back to common sense, stupefied

For too long my heart was wasted and it stayed alone for overlong
A blues born in my heart awakens and come dark or fair, it’s always there and it’s happy to ruin everything

It’s happy to ruin everything.
But I’m happy it wont be bothering me again.

We’ve been feeling fine in the shade where it’s lazy
It almost makes you forget.
In Technicolor streaming over from the ocean and the border
What’s the story? Where’s the catch?

Just like the swell of the strings beneath electric guitar
A million whispers and a single scream
There was a time when I didn’t even know who you were
But I don’t remember that.

Heroes ride off in magnified sunsets, still alive despite all horrible events
You and I could put this theory to the test, given time.

‘cause you know my heart was wasted and it stayed alone for overlong
a blues born in my heart is breaking now come dark or sad
it wont be that bad.
