ieuan williams – once, we were romantics كلمات اغاني

(the rain didn’t last long, did it? [pause] you know what i think? i think that [pause] we’re all in our private traps, clamped in them, and none of us can ever get out. we scratch and we claw, but only at the air; only at each other, and for all of it, we never budge an inch.)

from bars like these came blurry photographs
a sour taste of alcohol and cigarettes
and vicarious lovers doc-menting their demise
through the haze of tangled limb and neon light
while i’m remembering you from way back when
the summer stench comes flooding in
chlorine sticks and sinks into my skin
there is something such an engine roar
that swallowed all our sins
and i know that life cannot be simplified
into three short words: the meeting of lips
though i believed in love through every single kiss
the sleight-of-hand, the sullen fits
and we live and we regret; we hold hands and then forget
we harbour hope and fear; resent for all the wasted years
and time comes and then its gone
when suddenly we’re holding on with heavy hearts and heads
but we’re still going strong

and the bitter cold remembers me
too many nights like these: getting off
and i’m laying low and living free
then we were so alone
you were you and i was we
and under streetlamp light we
gained the strength enough to fight
to curse the tigers nipping at our heels
to bury this disease but by morning it was gone
when we returned to desperately play on
and i know life cannot be watered down
to bad ideas and whispers of an english accent
we’ll remedy by getting drunk, singing songs, and giving up
while poets carve the names of other lovers in their wrists
and in a while they will regret, throw their hands up and forget
and time comes and moves along while the circus carries on
whilst the song remains the same we’ll wonder why
we’ll wonder why the story had to end this way
