The other day when we where walking by the graveyard near the houseYou asked me if I thought we would ever dieAnd if life and love would fade, predictably we made ourselves a kind of predictable lieAnd so I pictured us like corpses lying side by side in piecesIn a dark and lonely plot under a bough We looked so silly there all decomposed half turned to dust in tattered clothesThough we properly look just as silly nowBye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye to all this there dog eared innocenceI can't pretend that I can tell you what's going to happen next, or how to beBut you have no idea about me, do you?And it left me to wonder if people ever know each otherOr just stumble around like strangers in the darkSometimes you seem so strange to me, I must seem strange to youWere like two actors in a play,with our two partsDid you memorize your lines? Cause I didCause this part where I get so mad, I tell you I can't forget the pastYou get so quiet now, you seem somehowLike a lost and lonely child and you just hope that the moment won't lastBye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye to all this there dog eared innocenceI can't pretend that I can tell you what's going to happen next, or how to beBut you have no idea bout meYou have no idea about me, do you?SongtexteSo there's always a way around, there's something tying our feet to the groundA moment passed, we hear how it soundsThen it seems a little less profound, like where all going the same way downYea where all going the same way downI'm just trying to write it all downCause I write songs and you write letters We are tied like two in-tethers We talk and read, and talk, and sleep, at night In bed together You wake in tears sometimes; I can see the thoughts flash across your eyesDarlin' will you be kind, and be a good man, and stay behind if I get oldAnd the letters pass though my head with the word that I was toldThe fading flesh, life and love, the failures of the boldI can list each crippling fear like I'm reading from a willAnd I'll defy everyone who loves you stillI will kill you with me up every hill If you die before I die, I'll carve your name out of the skyI'll fall asleep with your memory, I'll dream of where you'll lay It may be better to move on and let life just carry onAnd I may be wrong, still I'll tryIt's better to love whether you win, lose or die It's better to love whether you win, lose or die It's better to love and I will love you till I die Aus Songtexte Mania
