Could it be the same
At a slow burn age without wonder
They've closed the night
And every streetlight five years ago
It's the future now
I only go downtown without reason
I need the blackened feel
The red steel appeal of our midnight
Would you wait so long
Beneath the shady palms of our Riverside
I want seventeen
But never twenty-three how I grieve for you
We were new wave booms
And what shy recluses both of us were
A spell I cannot break
Of twenty eighteen's ache forever
Five years ago
And how I could've loved you forever
But in modernity
I must age and age forever
How do I turn back time
And waste more of my life forever
And what a lonely maze
If I don't have your face forever
