Bright Eyes lyrics : "A Perfect Sonnet "

Lately I've been wishing I had one desire
Something that would make me never want another
Something that would make it so that nothing matters

All would be clear then

But I guess I'll have to settle for a for a few brief

moments
And watch it all dissolve into a single second
And try to write it down into a perfect sonnet

Or one foolish line

Cause that's all that you'll get so you'll have to accept

You are here then you're gone

But I believe that lovers should be tied together

Thrown into the ocean in the worst of weather
Left there to drown
Left there to drown In their innocence


But as for me I'm coming to the final chapter
I read all of the pages and there's still no answer

The only words before I know must soon come after
That is the only way it can be


So I stand in the sun
And I breathe with my lungs
I'm Trying to spare me the weight of the truth


Singing everything you've ever seen was just a mirror
You've spent your whole life sweating in an endless fever

And now you're laying in a bathtub full of freezing water
Wishing you were a ghost


But once you knew a girl and you named her lover
Danced with her in kitchens through the greenest summer
Autumn came, she disappeared

You can't remember where she said she was going to

But you know that she's gone because she left you a song

That you don't want to sing

Singing I believe that lovers should be chained together

Thrown into a fire with their songs and letters
Left there to burn
Left there to burn in their arrogance


But as for me I'm coming to my final failure
I've killed myself with changes trying to make it better

Ended up becoming something other than what I had planned to be,
Alright


I believe that lovers should be draped in flowers
And layed entwined together on a bed of clover
Left there to sleep

Left there to dream of their happiness
