Minuet

Eyes are just dark from no surprise

Jeopardize what we never realize

To be alright

Throwing snowballs in the dirt and wasting time

Never slowing down to learn but darling I find

We were lovers then for sure like cyanide

Like a one-note minuet and try as I might

Try to control you now

Try to extol you now

Knowing it's no surprise

That tomorrows seem to dance in your eyes

It's no surprise

That you love the things you idealize

Our scattered lines

I'm forgetting how to finish words sometimes

Never standing up to write but darling I find

I'm an aimless clock that's running out of time

And I don't know how to love

But darling don't cry

We've got futures drowned in old forgotten wine

While the cities start to shrink and darling we'll fly

Over countless decades someone else will buy

From the wrinkles of a face

That glows in the night

And I'd love to love you girl but darling I

Never loved the same as you you dance in the light

You retire when these words hold on too tight

And your smile starts to fade to look at my eyes

See how they watch you now

Write where I lost you and how

See how they watch you now

Cry where I lost you

To be alright

But I gave up long ago and it's such a fight

To be so romantic now but god how I try

To be always so in love with you but I'm

Just a twisted minuet you dance in the light

I'm an aimless living devil in the night

And a one-note minuet to play til you —
