Side Effects

You were reading all the signs

Now I'm baffled by the sight

Of the words between the lines

How they open up inside

Now I'm going back in time

To the century of light

It was covered in your eyes

How the feeling was sublime

I've been looking through a haze

And I don't know quite why

Is it time for a smoking break (you came into my life)

And I don't know quite why

My heart is broken, my head's a flame ( )

And I don't know quite why

It's the side effects of you

I felt loose between the lines

In the heat of your delight

Everlasting paradigm

The contrasting appetite

I've seen through the haze

And I don't know quite why

It's time for that smoking break (you came into my life)

And I don't know quite why

My heart is broken, my head's on fire ( )

And I don't know quite why

It's the side effects of you

I walk the lonely streets

I used to stroll with you

Won't you meet me there soon

Rose-colored photographs

And solemn jazz for two

I'll be waiting here for you
