Bad Luck to Say Goodbye in the Dark (Redux)

Love of mine

It still makes me nervous when you take the worst of me in stride

And look me in the eyes and say you’re with me on purpose

No hint of uncertainty or lies, but I don’t trust my senses

They make me defensive every time

And leave me seeing technicolour in black and white

Timeless one, please tell me that it’s real

Oh how can six years feel like six months?

I’m frightened to ask in case I’m faced with a red pill

I don’t see the appeal in waking up

I’m done with this lack of inertia

I wanna reverse or I’ll run out of luck

Before we get too far can we start this all over?

I blame those goddamn kids, that will the days away

With their sex, drugs and music that I swore was just a phase

No, it’s not like it was back when we were like them

Are we doomed to relive the clichés our parents set?

Well, we’re not there yet...

I don’t need forever, whatever that means

Just one day at a time’s enough if you are there with me

Won’t beg for salvation

Give the devil his due

It’s worth it if this guaranteed existence is with you

Looking up, is so hard to explain when I see your face in every star

You’re closer to god(s) than me but you can take their place

‘Cause you’ve had my blind faith from day dot

So what if it’ll never be perfect, I wouldn’t prefer it if it was

You’re still the light that guides my way home in the dark
