Allow me to exaggerate a memory or two
Where summers lasted longer than,
Longer than we do,
Where nothing really mattered
Except for me to be with you,
But in time we all forgot and we all grew.
Your melody sounds as sweet
As the first time it was sung,
With a little bit more character for show,
And by the time your father's heard
Of all the wrong you've done,
Then I'm putting out the lantern,
Find your own way back home.
If I've forgotten how to sing
Before I sung this song,
I'll write it all across this wall
Before my job is done,
And I'll even have the courtesy
Of admitting I was wrong,
As the final words before I'm dead and gone.
You've never been so divine
In accepting your defeat,
And I've never been more scared to be alone.
If love is not enough to put my enemies to sleep,
Then I'm putting out the lantern,
Find your own way back home.
