lyrics

The art of perception
is an abstract creation
reality takes a backseat to fancy

In love's science fiction there's
quiet deception as we casually trust
the storylines we hear

After some time our tattered clothes soften
and take the shape they've been worn in
Pay it no mind, it's somewhat comfortable
the restlessness an itch under your skin

I thought I'd miss you that night in December
when you walked out in the snow
but now it's summer I still haven't missed you
I feel better than I've ever felt before

Summer's a good time to part with the bad times
the air is sweet with apple trees in bloom
I wish you the best I have no regrets except
Maybe for not leaving you then

It must be the new shades that aren't blue
my new love paints me orange and pink
such changes have come in just a few months
so in love I'm afraid to blink
