lyrics

Woo'd by the gall to pretend you don't speak French
And with a brazen request, I reeked of intent
The start of stardust spirals out further than I hoped
A figure off ice, and sharper than skates, only brings you closer to what you see in the lake

When the heat dies down, reality kicks in
The scent of daffodils starts to make me feel sick,
But I'm sure you wouldn't mind at all

Do you feel a twinge in your heart,
Is there a fleeting shame,
Or is it water off your back,
Does it even leave a stain?

While yelling at a wall
has its time and place,
My spirits start to sink
When the conversation's strained

Don't take the wind out from my words
To raise your ego higher
When I've seen the tower start to crumble
From hearing Falco under fire

The ire burns through the veil of elegance and grace,
Don't you have somebody else to tell about all the things you hate?

I miss "Baby Blue"
But I've grieved the death of Casagemas
Barcelona seems lovely, but your Spanish is better than mine
