The Brilliant Dance

So this is odd

The painful realization that all has gone wrong

And nobody cares at all

And nobody cares at all

So you bury all your lovers clothes

And burn the letters lover wrote,

But it doesn't make it any better

Does it make it any better?

And the plaster dented from your fist

In the hallway you had your first kiss

Reminds you that the memories will fade

So this is strange

Our sidestepping has come to be

A brilliant dance

Where nobody leads at all

Where nobody leads at all

And the picture frames are facing down

And the ringing from this empty sound

Is deafening and keeping you from sleep

And breathing is a foreign task

And thinking's just too much to ask

And your measuring you minutes by

A clock that's blinking 8's

Well this is incredible

Starving, insatiable,

Yes, this is love for the first time

And you'd like to think that you were invincible

Yeah, well, weren't we all once

Before we felt lost for the first time?

This is the last time

This is the last time

This is the last time
