Aging Love

Meet you same time usual place
at the edge of town
by the cemetery gates
by the house where the watcher lived

Where our parents said
he killed those kids
You're there in the car with the radio
humming that song I'd forbidden myself
from ever hearing again my dear

But even after all these years
Your words ran around in my head,
I love you but this can't go on
Why is an aging love so wrong?

You promised we would be forever

Why is an aging love so wrong?
I should've known we'd never stay together
Personally I heard a rumour you moved back home with a kid and a husband, a mortgage

A crying shame

Remember all those plans you made.
But I got away as a ghost
somehow I struck gold
and returned 20 years since the evening
I left our town

I went and bought the watchers house.
Your words still ran around in my head,
I loved you but this can't go on

Why is an aging love so wrong?

You promised we would be forever
Why is an aging love so wrong?
I should've known we'd never stay together
It's like spirits possess me;
your voice is in every room
There's this hatred inside me for everything that's clean and pure
Decision leads me to your door

But it's her standing there,
just like you were at that age
I asked her if she'll take a ride
just for old times' sake;
to the cemetery gates
And she's smiling where you used to smile
But as she steps inside,
I see the horror in her eyes
And that's when I discard the façade and embrace the watcher's legacy
Why is an aging love so wrong?
You promised we would be forever
Why is an aging love so wrong?
I should've known we'd never stay together...
Yeah!
