Sharks & Minnows - Bonaventure Lyrics

My one-trick pony rode off in the sunset
With the last trick up my sleeve
And instead of all the making up I have to do
With you, I make believe
The pained façade you wore on every corner
Well, it never brought me anything but woe
But was it done for show
Just strobe and shadow

I can't remember everytime I let you down
But God knows there's a bruise for every place
And the names are permanent, you never let them go
Just like good old what's-his-face
The things he did to you -- they were so trenchant
There was no pain he caused you under duress
Or under your dress
Cuz you were fearless

You said, no no no no no
On Bonaventure, Somerset, and Boulevard
You said, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

And so here's the happy ending that I promised you
And it feels so good to know my name
And it feels so good to take a breath and draw you in
Like a long ride down a dark vein
And if you were here, you know I'd pull you closer
And I'd tell you things you just couldn't resist
It was just a kiss
Wasn't that your promise
