Lately I've been reading the letters that I
Wrote to you
So when I begin to stutter when we're alone
I hope that you're listening
'Cause I am drifting through the space between dreaming
And the reality of trying to force practicality
We are flying too close to the sun
So why don't I mind
I've forgotten
So then we came back down
And they began to find out
That we weren't strong enough
And the noises were too loud
I've become the martyr
And you always started the fire
But this time
They warned me
Conceding never sounded so appealing
Lately I don't sound like I used to
But I can't forget the way that I loved you
So when I remember what you said to me
I still wonder
How I responded
Love was like chasing lions
Leaving my headaches to lie
On your bed, where we met
Evenings and cocktails
Will never let me forget
I am drifting through the space between dreaming
And the reality of trying to force practicality
We are flying too close to the sun
So why don't I mind
I've forgotten
Then we came back down
And they began to find out
That we weren't strong enough
And the noises were too
Loud
