A song that emerged from an attempt to write something in the style of The Divine Comedy (https://soundcloud.com/the-divine-comedy). Not sure I entirely succeeded but I still like the result! Completed with more than a little help from my friends @looseyleaf & @goat-screaming.

LYRICS:
[Verse 1]
This is a song for lovers
whose tale is a story old as time
Two souls meant to find each other
our destinies always intertwined
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Seems every road leads us to this place
The choices we made, regrets and mistakes
We’re circling round and round
and running out of space
[Verse 2]
This is a song for dreamers
those who believed and dared to try
To get where the grass is greener
but found it was on on the other side
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Love is a drug, and life is a dance
So never stand still or you'll waste your chance
'Cause if you wait too long you’ll miss
that moment a smile leads to a kiss
So what are you thinking for
if there’s a spark we can’t ignore it
[Chorus 1]
'Cause I’m someone who needs you
who feels the same way you do
let me steal your heart
It might last forever
if we can stick together
this is just the start
Or maybe we’ll break up
kiss and make up
Friends or enemies walking that line
'Cause this is our story
so help me write it line by line
[Verse 3]
This is a song for liars
who feel the chill but won’t admit
It's cold 'cause they lost the fire
when love burned to ashes in the pit
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Memories are just the ghosts of the past
like water and sand, they slip through the cracks
Some things can never be replaced
the sound of a voice, the look on a face
So baby keep holding on
to what we have before it’s gone
[Chorus 2]
Now the tides are changing
the stars are rearranging
in the sky above
Anchors lifting, drifting off
ships into the night
a life that never was
But there was a moment
for a blink of an eye
I was yours, and my love, you were mine
A potion so potent
that we climbed to the top of the mountain
and jumped
cause we knew in our hearts we could fly
But we’re out of time
We’re out of time
[Outro]
This is the song that lovers sing
when they are running out of time
