Lyrics

I think about the time when life was simple as a song
And all the world was was you and me and love
Everything we were was good and all we did was right
And there was always more than time enough
Ah, ah
I dream about the time when we were lying on the floor
There was so much new still left to tell
The sounds of Interpol and people talking on the street
We didn't want to move to break the spell
Ah, ah
And just when you finally thought you'd made it
Why'd you have to go and complicate it
Watching as the picture slowly faded
In the heat
Bittersweet
The sound of rainfall on the roof awakens memories
Like fingers tapping gently on my shoulder
Of the mesa where I sheltered all those years ago
Waiting restlessly till I was older
Ah, ah
And just when you finally thought you'd made it
Why'd you have to go and complicate it
Reaching for the freedom that you traded
Trick or treat
And just when you finally thought you'd made it
Why'd you have to go and try to change it
Watching as you're slowly inundated
From the feet
Bittersweet
Bittersweet
