lyrics

I woke up in the dark
Having dreamt I was in pursuit
Piling on the circular talk
Just like I used to do

I suppose this is serious love
The kind that just won't be snuffed
The kind of love that never dies
The sort of stuff that ruins lives

Burn the lovedreams, burn 'em for safekeeping
Save the lovedreams, save 'em on the garbage heap
If you lived here, you'd be home by now
If you loved me, you'da let on by now

Did you forget what you said?
Did I misinterpret it?
Vague and softspoken
Over AIM

Five long years ago
Feels like that and twenty-some-odd more
You said "I'm sorry but
You are so beautiful"

Burn the lovedreams, burn 'em for safekeeping
Fill the lovedreams, fill 'em while you're leaving
If you loved me, you'd be home by now
If you lived here, you'da shown by now

Did you forsake your vow?
Or did I misinterpret it somehow?
That delicious little hiccup in
Space-time's continuin'

You were six-fucking-teen
Maybe it didn't mean anything
Maybe it was just one of those things
Whatever the fuck that means

If you lived here, you'd be home by now
If you loved me, I guess I'd know by now

Burn the lovedreams, burn 'em for safekeeping
Save the lovedreams, save 'em on the garbage heap
If you lived here, you'd be home by now
If you loved me, you'da let on by now

If you lived here, you'd be home by now
