lilypad domicile

Hey
Despite my best I was weak today
Anyway
I'll spare you the misfortune of my musing
Haunting me
Endlessly

Because your only imperfection's my reflection in your eyes
They outshone the evening starlight for the second that I saw them but it's
Not what you'd have wanted and it's not where you'd have gone
This heart will not be broken
I'll die with arms wide open

Well, between the pen and ashes lay the love I wish we had
There we hop atop the lilypads and sing into the sky
Except these wishes and these melodies are only in my mind
I wasn't meant for this love
I surely wasn't meant for this love
Ah

Hey
I thought I could hear you calling my name
Might have been the rain
Give me a reason to look your way
Patiently
Wait for me

Well, your only imperfection's my reflection in your eyes
Were I even worth a word, you would have spoken it by now, I know
As I overhear the ones that flow from you every day
There's no way I'm what you're made of
It's locking eyes that I'm afraid of

Well, between the brush and ashes lay the love I wish we had
There we sit atop the lilypads and sing into the twilight
But it can only ever stay with me, this song I hold inside
I wasn't meant for this love
I surely wasn't meant for this love
Ah

Spill the wine
Call the name
Like I'd never see you again

Well your only imperfection's my reflection in your eyes
I thought I could have caught you for a moment, but we drift apart
Away, atop the lilypads that coat the marsh and clay on this heart that won't be broken
I'll die with arms wide open

Oh, between the thread and ashes lay the love I wish we had
I'll pretend I never heard it when you finally do call my name
'Cause even if I spoke to you, I don't know what I'd say except I wasn't meant for this love
I surely wasn't meant for this love
Ah
I surely wasn't meant for this love
