about

It's about a girl I worked with. She laid it out on the table. What she wanted. And I couldn't help but fall for her. She was beautiful, charming, incredibly smart... but she really meant what she said. No boyfriend. I've learned this lesson thankfully. I'm listening much closer to things now.

lyrics

You were the queen of machinery
Knives held no piercing ability
A part of this I looked forward to becoming
My flesh was always taking up retreat

Mapped out discussions on foreign policy
You were always armed to the teeth
I mostly played along as a fantasy
My best was always in jest you see

I'd take it all back for one photograph
of you and me, before our cowardly retreat

Pedalstals are almost always imaginary
I'd placed you on quite the highest one
well for that I do take up responsibility
the mirror of these words is harrowing
It haunts my dreams

I'd take it all back for one photograph
of you and me, before our cowardly retreat

Oh lonesome love, come back to me
Unconditionally, I'll stay fit to sing you're melody and story...
