All That Glitters

It’s been a year and six months since I passed to you
The torch inside of an old flame I had for you
We un-light our cigarettes, time moves backwards
And I can burn everything I have from you
I am in place, I can face when they take me to that avenue
But I cannot erase what you have to do
Pencil lead scratches on you backtrack and attitude
I can re-trace the steps with a map that we’ve long since traveled through
And this is different than our pattern’s been
I watch you cover up your body like you’re visiting the Vatican
And I can scratch something off my bucket list, yeah
Yeah, like this is not the girl I was in love with
You brought a clock and, with hours, you were beautiful
And brought a shock and a flower for your funeral
I don’t even think that I could find those times gold
I stole my soul back out of the mind hole
If all that glitters ain’t gold then I literally can’t cope
Something in my blind hope blocking out the sunlight
That gave you those freckles to begin with
And I’m impeccable and finished with this
I didn’t think that I would see her again
And now I do, and I can’t believe my eyes
Written on her face is mystery that I don’t think I ever knew
And I cannot stand to see, in time
'Cause over the years, our hope to stay in touch broke up
And this is why I didn’t wanna break it up, I miss it
I hope that the guy that she’s sleeping with fuckin' stays sleeping
Next time she goes to wake him up and kiss him (uh)
And this is all my songs unfinished and my strong voice savored
Thinkin' maybe you’ll return to me if I call later
Maybe you would notice if I wrote it on your wallpaper
Off key like a broken piano, I shake the lock right off your door, baby
I guess you did what you had to do
And let it add on to your attitude
If I were you, I’d be tied up
I wouldn’t be proud of anything that I’ve done
Maybe I’m haunted by my memory, a bit too neurotic
Maybe I don’t want to spend another New Year’s missin' you
Forgotten 'bout my blue tears
Is it too ironic how I shake off my boots here
True fears, gripping to the bottom of your loose shears
Like I confess that I lose it
And it’s true that my time is always spent on my music
But I am not the type of guy who’d ever leave his best friends
Hanging in dust, I miss the magic of your touch
I didn’t think that I would see her again
And now I do, and I can’t believe my eyes
Written on her face is mystery that I don’t think I ever knew
And I cannot stand to see, in time
'Cause over the years, our hope to stay in touch broke up
And this is why I didn’t wanna break it up, I miss it
I hope that the guy that she’s sleeping with fuckin' stays sleeping
Next time she goes to wake him up and kiss him
And so we move in slow motion, and so we move in slow motion
And this life goes by too fast
And so we move in slow motion, and so we move in slow motion
And this life goes by too fast (Spadez)
I didn’t think that I would see her again
And now I do, and I can’t believe my eyes
Written on her face is mystery that I don’t think I ever knew
And I cannot stand to see, in time
'Cause over the years, our hope to stay in touch broke up
And this is why I didn’t wanna break it up, I miss it
I hope that the guy that she’s sleeping with fuckin' stays sleeping
Next time she goes to wake him up and kiss him
I didn’t think that I would see her again
And now I do, and I can’t believe my eyes
Written on her face is mystery that I don’t think I ever knew
And I cannot stand to see, in time
Over the years, our hope to stay in touch broke up
And this is why I didn’t wanna break it up, I miss it
I hope that the guy that she’s sleeping with fuckin' stays sleeping
