I want to believe that this still works.
But the willows bend before they burst.
I’m certain there's no in between.
You follow down the rabbit hole,
but catching up is just dumb luck.
We were a flash in the universe.
Extinguished by the flames of love.
You wonder if I folded first.
A few seconds short of being long gone.
I've got a bone to pick with you.
You twist my words like a Vine Street queue.
We'll never say I do, adieu.
Beauty lies where smiles hide.
(I’ve never seen this side before.)
Our intentions are plumed and pliant.
(My love went walking out that door.)
It’s not even that I mind the rain.
I just need someone to fix my brain.
I've got a bone to pick with you.
You test my mood like I’ve got the blues.
I've got a bone to pick with you.
You twist my words like a Vine Street queue.
We'll never say I do, adieu.
I want to believe that this still works,
But the willows bend before they burst.
