Carmen
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Carmen, I don't know I don't know I don't know if I can go back
Carmen I'll never be never be never be the same again
Carmen, carmen
Carmen, carmen
Carmen, carmen
The way you set the table
The way you lean to tell me something soft
The way I can see into you
The way you tell me I talk too much about myself
It's true I talk too much about myself
But right now all I wanna talk about is you now
Carmen, I don't know I don't know I don't know if I can go back
Carmen I'll never be never be never be the same again
Carmen, carmen
Carmen, carmen
Carmen, carmen
I love the way you think
Is it biological or all the acid
You've eaten
Just take me into your body
I wanna be drunk I wanna be high
I wanna be drunk I wanna be high on you
Carmen, I don't know I don't know I don't know if I can go back
Carmen I'll never be never be never be the same again
Carmen, carmen
Carmen, carmen
Carmen, carmen
I don't know I don't know I don't know
I don't know I don't know I don't know
If I can go go go go go go go go back home
I don't know I don't know I don't know
I don't know I don't know I don't know
If I can be seen again
