The Curse of Getting What You Want

from Doom Forever by That Dream Was Our Life

/

lyrics

A fever you can catch
That never seems to let go
The curse of getting what you want
Repeating like an echo

The wind splits the sky
Reflecting in the river
A name in disappearing ink
I trace it with a finger

A pair of tickets in my hand
Panic in the ballroom
I just want to be confused
By the breath of your perfume

Twelve footsteps in a sleepwalk year
Does it make you wanna cry
Our voices tremble like a shadow
But we lose our shadows in the light

24 on the 10
I'm in front of your old house
You're breathless at the door
Red dress & your hair's down

If I stay inside the past
I never see the present
I'm never really here
It's real until it isn't

All I have to offer you
Is a life I've never known before
Maybe together we could find some luck
And know the touch of something more
