Ashes To Ashes Songtext
Another day goes by, and the saying, ?time flies?
really doesn't apply when I'm trying to describe how I haven't slept a damn
night. You're damn right I'm sick of this damn life. A minute feels like an
hour when it's a quarter to four, and you're staring at the ceiling, lying on
the floor. I don't want to feel this anymore. I just want to feel the way I did
before you. How do I go back to the way that things were before you?
You
left me here with an unsightly scar and a shattered heart, to remind me that
we've come so far to throw it all away.
It's like pouring salt on the wound
every time I smell the scent of Gap perfume. Because it takes me back to a time
in your room where we would lie, intertwined, 'til the break of noon. I love to
watch you sleep, and I can smell you on the sheets. Oh why does everything good
end? Now every smile that I wear is just pretend.
Time tried to heal this,
but I keep picking the scab with every thought of you.
I'm going to burn
down the school where we used to go and fog the car windows. I'm going to burn
down the church where we used to go because it reminds me of you. Turn this
city to ashes. We both fell down so hard, but I can't get on my feet again.
I
can still recall the scene: you and me, too young to care as we stood on the
pavement of the school playground. The moon cast broken shadows of trees on our
vibrant silhouettes as we danced to the song ?Here's to the Night.? We couldn't
even make it through the first verse without stepping on each other's feet.
Although that night was four years ago, I can't forget the feeling or the smell
of the air because that night was never meant to end, and in some ways, I don't
think it ever did
