Who's gonna stop us from waltzing back into rekindled flames
If we know the steps anyway?
We embroidered the memories of the time I was away
Stitching, "We were just kids, babe"
I said, "I don't mind, it takes time"
I thought I was better safe than starry-eyed
I felt aglow like this
Never before and never since

If you know it in one glimpse, it's legendary
You and I go from one kiss to getting married

In your suit and tie, in the nick of time
You lowdown boy, you stand-up guy
You Holy Ghost, you told me I'm
The love of your life
You said I'm the love of your life
About a million times

Oh, what a valiant roar, what a bland goodbye
The coward claimed he was a lion
I'm combing through the braids of lies
"I'll never leave," "never mind"

Your arson's match, your somber eyes
And I'll still see it, until I die
You're the loss of my life

Friends break up, friends get married
Strangers get born, strangers get buried
Trends change, rumors fly through new skies
But I'm right where you left me
Matches burn after the other
Pages turn and stick to each other
Wages earned and lessons learned
But I'm right where you left me

Did you hear about the girl who lives in delusion?
Breakups happen every day, you don't have to lose it
She's still twenty-three inside her fantasy
And you're sitting in front of me

At the restaurant
When I was still the one you want
Cross-legged in the dim light
Everything was just right, I
I could feel the mascara run
You told me that you met someone
Glass shattered on the white cloth
Everybody moved on

Help, I'm still at the restaurant
Still sitting in a corner I haunt
Cross-legged in the dim light
They say, "What a sad sight", I
I stayed there
Dust collected on my pinned-up hair
I'm sure that you got a wife out there
Kids and Christmas, but I'm unaware
'Cause I'm right where

I cause no harm
Mind my business, if our love died young
I can't bear witness and it's been so long
But if you ever think you got it wrong
I'm right where you left me

You left me no
Oh, you left me no
You left me no choice but to stay here forever

کاش می‌شد، برگردیم قدیم و
کاش می‌شد، در رفت از تقویم و
کاش می‌شد، واقعی این تلقین و
کاش می‌شد…
