《A Perfect Sonnet》歌词

[00:00:00] A Perfect Sonnet - Bright Eyes

[00:00:10] Lately I've been wishing I had one desire

[00:00:18] Something that would make me never want another

[00:00:22] Something that would make it so that nothing matters

[00:00:26] All would be clear then

[00:00:28] But I guess I'll have to settle for a for a few brief moments

[00:00:34] And watch it all dissolve into a single second

[00:00:37] And try to write it down into a perfect sonnet

[00:00:41] Or one foolish line

[00:00:43] Cause that's all that you'll get

[00:00:48] So you'll have to accept

[00:00:52] You are here and then you're gone

[00:00:55] But I believe that lovers should be tied together

[00:00:59] Thrown into the ocean in the worst of weather

[00:01:04] Left there to drown

[00:01:05] Left there to drown in their innocence

[00:01:09] But as for me I'm coming to the final chapter

[00:01:14] I read all of the pages and there's still no answer

[00:01:18] Only all that was before I know must soon come after

[00:01:22] That's the only way it can be

[00:01:24] So I stand in the sun

[00:01:28] And I breathe with my lungs

[00:01:32] Trying to spare me the weight of the truth

[00:01:39] Saying everything you've ever seen was just a mirror

[00:01:46] You've spent your whole life sweating in an endless fever

[00:01:50] And laying in a bathtub full of freezing water

[00:01:53] Wishing you were a ghost

[00:01:56] But once you knew a girl and you named her "Lover"

[00:02:02] Danced with her in kitchens through the greenest summer

[00:02:05] But autumn came she disappeared you can't remember

[00:02:09] Where she said she was going to

[00:02:12] But you know that she's gone

[00:02:16] Cause she left you a song

[00:02:19] That you don't want to sing

[00:02:25] Singing I believe that lovers should be chained together

[00:02:29] Thrown into a fire with their songs and letters

[00:02:33] Left there to burn

[00:02:35] Left there to burn in their arrogance

[00:02:38] But as for me I'm coming to my final failure

[00:02:44] I've killed myself with changes trying to make things better

[00:02:48] And ended up becoming something other

[00:02:51] Than what I had planned to be

[00:02:54] All right

[00:02:55] I believe that lovers should be draped in flowers

[00:03:13] And laid entwined together on a bed of clovers

[00:03:17] Left there to sleep

[00:03:19] Left there to dream of their happiness
