My love is building a building around you
A frail slippery house, a strong fragile house
Beginning at the singular beginning of your smile
A skillful uncouth prison, a precise clumsy prison
Building that and this into thus
Around the reckless magic of your mouth
My love is building a magic
A discrete tower of magic and as I guess
When Farmer Death (whom fairies hate)
Shall crumble the mouth-flower fleet
He'll not my tower, laborious, casual
Where the surrounded smile hangs, breathless
(You said) look me in the eye and offer me a drink, would you?
Take me for a ride and teach me how to dance, would you?
Run your hands through my hair and pull me closer
Forget my name in the morning when you wake up
(You said) take this paper ring and marry me tonight, can you?
Put me out of my misery, I'm all alone and
Hold me in the dark, I'm scared of what's beyond tonight
Remember me when you look back on the good times
You run away every time I get a little bit close
You run at the notion of being anywhere
With anyone who gives a f- (I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry)
♪
I don't want to wake up
I don't want to wake up
I don't want to wake up
I don't want to wake up
(You said) time flies, love dies, people walk away
Memories are ghosts of moments you can't have again
Let go of inhibitions keeping you from loving me
But don't fall in love with me, please don't fall in love with me
You run away every time I get a little bit close
You run at the notion of being anywhere
With anyone who gives a f- (I'm sorry, I'm sorry)
You run away every time I get a little bit close
You run at the notion of being anywhere
With anyone...
