lyrics

When you’re beside
The river of love
On the banks there
You might slide
For where there’s water
There’s mud
And death might be your bride

Lead in to paradise
Then lead out again
And your mind is a cascade of dreams
You lose perspective
And you’ll lose your friends
For some vague utopia
Aside sorrow’s streams

The song goes on
And it’s foolishly romantic
I’ve been right and I’ve been wrong
I’ve made my mistakes
God help us all
We can’t talk
Like they want us to talk
We can’t walk
Like they want us to walk
The ruined romantics

So many missteps

It’s all in my head, as always
Full of dread, as always
I’ll be falling on my sword
While trying to get back on that horse
I can hardly believe it

The song goes on
And it’s foolishly romantic
I’ve been right and I’ve been wrong
Yes, I’ve made my mistakes
Who can help us all?
We can’t talk
Like they want us to talk
We can’t walk
Like they want us to walk
The ruined romantics

I had a heart
I had a heart

We put our boots on
We leave the house
We follow directions
As best we can
Navigating the shifting sand
And then we come up to the door
The entrance to that place
And we fall
Fall on our face
