Bright Eyes - A Perfect Sonnet Lyrics

Send "A Perfect Sonnet" ringtone to your cell

Lately I've been wishing I had one desire

Something that would make me never want another

Something that would make it so that nothing matters

All would be clear then

But I guess I'll have to settle for a few brief moments

And watch it all dissolve into a single second

And try to write it down into a perfect sonnet

Or one foolish line

'Cause that's all that you'll get so you'll have to accept

You are here and then you're gone

But I believe that lovers should be tied together and

Thrown into the ocean in the worst of weather

And left there to drown

Left there to drown in their innocence

But as for me I'm coming to the final chapter

I read all of the pages and there is still no answer

Only all that was before I know must soon come after

It's the only way it can be

So I stand in the sun and I breathe with my lungs

Trying to spare me the weight of the truth

Saying everything you have ever seen was just a mirror

And you've spent your whole life sweating in an endless fever

And laying in a bathtub full of freezing water

Wishing you were a ghost

But once you knew a girl and you named her lover

And danced with her in kitchens through the greenest summer

But autumn came she disappeared

You can't remember where she said she was going to

But you know that she is gone 'cause she left you a song

That you don't want to sing

Singing I believe that lovers should be chained together

And thrown into a fire with their songs and letters

And left there to burn

Left there to burn in their arrogance

But as for me I'm coming to my final failure

I've killed myself with changes trying to make things better

Ended up becoming something other than what I had planned to be

Alright

Now I believe that lovers should be draped in flowers

And layed entwined together on a bed of clover

And left there to sleep

Left there to dream of their happiness
