lyrics

Roaming around my home town
I stumbled upon your maze
I fell among your enchanted jewels
Beguiled by the display

Seeking out the warm heart
That scent of mystery
I walked in weary from this trail
And you gave me an ear
You gave me some of that sweet sympathy

Now I was surely losing myself
To a feeling I’d been resisting for so long
Becoming flowers in bloom
Picturesque, but soon these colours fly away

Somehow we got so entangled
Passion withered on the walls
Abandoned trailer there on the outskirts
Our history had turned to stone

Piece by piece slowly dying
The pressure took the edge off of us
Watching the light of my soul - it was burning out
The dream catcher in the window - it’s all covered in dust

I am surely losing again
To that calling I’ve been resisting for so long
It hurts to admit it my friend
Her perfume is fading
The sound of the streets has caught my imagination
I’m heading out into the waves

Surely losing myself
To a feeling
Been resisting for so long
Just like flowers in bloom
Picturesque, picturesque
Her perfume is fading
The sound of the streets has caught my imagination
