PAPERBACK LOVE
I walked through the doors to you,
you looked bold, but something 'bout you felt so shy somehow.
And you left your scarf there at my sister's house,
and I still got it in my drawer, even now.
Sophisticated disposition
meets my wide-eyed gaze.
I’m reading in my car, getting lost in your pages.
The autumn air breathes small, perfect pieces into place.
And I can still picture it after all these days.
All those moments long gone, all those times I tend to trip and fall.
And you might be okay, but I'm not fine at all.
No.
Cause here we are again, in that little shop of sweets.
I almost ran the red cause yours is the only face I can see.
Wind in your hair, I was there; I remember it all too well.
Photo album on the counter,
your cheeks were turning red.
You used to be that little girl with glasses, bookworm, well-read.
And your father’s telling stories 'bout you, colourful to the seams.
You tell me about your past, you know our future as well as me.
All those moments made up all the sweet nothings lovers tend to do.
And I’ll forget about you long enough to forget why I needed to.
Cause here we are again, driving, middle of the night.
We're dancing round the city in the early morning light.
We would dare, cloudy breath, I remember it all too well.
Yeah!
And, lovely, we’ll get lost in translation,
but I won’t ask for too much.
I ask of you is this masterpiece,
the words you use to make love.
And we’re scared,
I was there, I remember,
it all too well!
I wish you’d call me up again,
if just to break me like a promise.
The girl stained by felt-tip tears, folds me up into her pocket
I'm that crumbled up pleading, paperback, lover-boy.
Cause I remember you,
all all all too well
Time won't fly, it's like I'm paralysed by it.
I´d like to be my old self again,
but I can’t be him without it,
After mornings in my shirts, now the scent of you is only my own.
Don’t leave me to the storm, please, don’t leave me alone.
And I’ll keep your old scarf from that very first week.
Cause it reminds me, its flawlessness, when you’re cold without me.
You can’t be rid of me, cause you remember me, all too well.
Yeah!
And I wanna take your hand, transfixed by iridescent glow.
So imagine me away, the one real thing you’ll ever know.
This is rare, I am here, I’ll remember it all too well.
Write up an end, let’s pretend, you remember it all.
Down the line, you and I, if you’ll remember us at all.
Picture frames, with our names, I’ll remember you all too well.
