Song Lyrics

Small pieces of truth, whispered on the dance floor
Lift the hazy window for a moment
Fresh air makes you nervous
Why'd you have to come around and turn my whole world upside down?
You're wrecking me and everything
You don't even know what you're doing
The pigment of your eyes, water color flourish moonbeam blue
The smell of your breath, each day I get more used to your presence
You're complicating things by being here
I wasn't planning on this

Well, somehow you're getting into my parts, that piece of my heart I protect
What the f*ck? What kicked up all this dust?
You're taking me back to the places I left behind
The old, the old life and times
I need to find my fantastic place
The dream, don't try to take my dream away
When I grow up, I want to keep my dream in a leather covered box with a blue velvet lining
These simple things let your heart feel, yeah
These quiet times let your heart sing, yeah
What the f*ck? What kicked up all this dust?
You're taking me back to the places I left behind
The old life and times

The old, the old life and times
Why'd you have to come around and turn my whole world upside down?
You're wrecking me and everything
You don't even know what you're doing
The old life and times
The old life and times
The old life and times
The old, the old life and times
