Who's gonna tell me the truth, when you blew in with the winds of fate
And told me I reformed you?
When your Impressionist paintings of Heaven turned out to be fakes
Well, you took me to hell too
And all at once, the ink bleeds
A conman sells a fool a get-love-quick scheme
But I felt a hole like this
Never before and ever since
And do you miss the rogue
Who coaxed you into paradise and left you there?
When you're too wise to trust me and too old to care?
'Cause we were like the mall before the Internet
It was the one place to be
The mischief, the gift wrapped suburban dreams
Sorry for not winning you an arcade ring
And at first blush, this is fate
When it's all roses, portrait poses
Central Park Lake in tiny rowboats
That's when she sees the littlest leaks
What if I roll the stone away?
They're gonna crucify me anyway
What if the way you hold me is actually what's holy?
If long-suffering propriety is what they want from me
They don't know how you've haunted me so stunningly
I choose you and me religiously
You know that my train could take you home
I'm begging for you to take my hand
Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind (oh)
They count me out time and time again
Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind (oh)
But I come back stronger than a 90's trend
Wait for the signal and I'll meet you after dark
Show me the places where the others gave you scars
Now this is an open-shut case
Guess I should've known from the look on your face
Every bait and switch was a work of art
