The Slow Dance (FINAL) (Patreon)

Between our jaded eyes

We're undone together

As our breath now intertwines

The threads we strung untether

—

And I feel so much love

And I don't know what to do with it

This moment is all that there is

I'll be happy just to kiss you

Happy just to hold you

'Till day breaks our only dance

No, this isn't forever

But forever's in your eyes

Etched height lines of life

Just behind

—

Where once I believed in true love

Lays the nest of a digital dove

And at once, this will all be over

Still the spaces between are enough

Where once I believed in forever

Lay pieces of life held together

By smiles that faded long ago

But everything is still here

—

[Oh!]

[We lost that round, but it's not over yet. Get ready for the next one]

Our bodies are bound in a course

I study your contours and warmth

'Twixt tender divine, two rivers in time

Which the Summer remembers us by

Do it for the love of the game

Love just to love for the sake

If cliches are what we're all made

Make me a movie star, babe

[A cinema]

Where once I believed in true love

Lays the nest of a digital dove

And at once, this will all be over

Still the spaces between are enough

Where once I believed in forever

Lay pieces of life held together

By smiles that faded long ago

But everything is still here

—

[Oh!]

[Oh, oh, oh, oh my god, oh, oh

Are you — I bet he's not recording — are you recording?

Trickshot

Oh, oh, oh]

Even though the garden burns

It's raining somewhere else

Nothing matters 'till you tell

Reality is under your spell

[Inside us]

—

Where once I believed in true love

I realized it don't matter

'Cuz one day, it will all be over

And you'll still be ok

—

[The music never stops, no!]

To be honest, I was worried

I knew running off and getting married would never work

But I wanted to dream a little
