Allow me to exaggerate
a memory or two
Where summers lasted
longer than
longer than we do
When 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'd forgotten how to sing
before I'd sung this song
I'll write it all
across the 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
