A Timeless Classic

A Timeless Classic

Reason (The)
(album: Ravenna)

And so I said "What am I to you? Do you need to think this through?"
I´m impatient, and you know me.
I´ll be your sun and moon, I´ll be your smile
when you enter the room from a long hard day at what you do.
When everything we said we said was nothing that we did,
but everything we meant to do, we´re through.
When it´s over, the heart stops beating.
But it isn´t over.
You´re really never considered a friend until you roll me over and I stop breathing,
and you take back everything that you said.
To you, I´m in your bones.
I have your back if you´re ever alone.
With a knife stuck in it, this blood´s for you.
To me, this is love.
The only kind that can hang on a rope from above on your ceiling.
I want to take back everything that we did
and everything we meant to do until it hurts you.
Or could we pretend for one second that we´re still friends.
Does that even phase you? Does it hurt you?
With this mess that you´ve gotten yourself into, there´s only room for two.
You could close up the tube that leads into my lungs.
That could clean up this mess for you.
If I stopped breathing and you start feeling, would you be there?
Would you understand?
Would you see me when I am healing?
From this ceiling I could corrupt your plan.
It feels so comfortable.
Your rope around my throat.
From this angle you look so beautiful.
Tie the perfect knot.
Make it fit just like a glove.
To me, this is love.
