Elusive Dream

I haven't thought about you in a year
But I don't know why today I got the urge
To scroll through all your texts
The "I love you's" and "you're the best"

We planned our lives right down to a T
We spent the nights thinking of our city dreams
But maybe love was weaker than the jealousy
Maybe all of this was meant to be

Laughing in the dark, music turning up
Smiling through your eyes
Sky turning red with you inside my head
Endless with you was time

So much for forever
You slipped through my fingers
Falling apart at the seams
You're just my elusive dream
So much for forever
I thought I would do better
With you, but now I finally realise
Forever's just a beautiful disguise

Blasting music till the walls came down
Wearing our pyjamas inside out
Never thought I'd ever feel this blue
Lying dead inside my empty room

Laughing in the dark, music turning up
Smiling through your eyes
Sky turning red with you inside my head
Endless with you was time

So much for forever
You slipped through my fingers
Falling apart at the seams
You're just my elusive dream
So much for forever
I thought I would do better
With you, but now I finally realise
Forever's just a beautiful disguise

Strangers again
Forgetting our names
And the quotes from books we memorised

Always the same
Just like the rain
In November, coming and going as it likes

So much for forever
You slipped through my fingers
Falling apart at the seams
You're just my elusive dream
