Lyrics

The singer steps forward
He's not a torch song hero
He's not the embodiment of a soul brother
This unassuming troubadour sings to himself, softly
But not a word escapes his lips, and they don't even try
Because his words would rather stay with him as long as possible
But his melody is for me, and for you
You've heard me alone when I'm not around
Sometimes when I speak I can't stand the sound of my voice
This great big destructive machine
That takes too much time to say what it means
They tell me that my father is sick once again
With a plague that has decimated many old men
And I settle once more into the long sad dread
That reminds me that all loved ones soon will be dead
And this is why I spend so much time making love to you
In your arms, I was searching for things that were true
This is why I spend so much time making love to you
In your arms, I was searching for things that were true
There's a memory of mine that I'm watching for a moment
Distracted just a bit by something less important
I'm here for the part of the day that I crave
I have caffeine in my system that makes me feel brave
The chill in the air is exactly what I want
The sun on my face, and my eyes tightly shut
It's important for me to remember these things
Important for me to remember these things
Pretend that we're in Prague, sipping sodas by the square
Where the clock brought the masses to the ceremony there
Every hour little puppets spun around the clock-face
Each figure represents one of the human race
And somehow we were always on time for the show
We'd arrive to the chaos of the people
Right below those large chiming bells that had a song to sing
It's important for me to remember these things
Absinthe and sex, black garters, cheap wine
A hotel in Prague, a moment in time
We were hungry and scary and so much in love
We'd laugh with each other as we'd push and we'd shove
Absinthe and sex, black garters, cheap wine
A hotel in Prague, a moment in time
We were hungry and scary and so much in love
We'd laugh with each other as we'd push and we'd shove
La la la la, the singer keeps singing
La la la la, and the singer keeps singing
La la la la, and the singer keeps singing
La la la, keep singing, keep singing, singing
That was the first time I really caught your eye
In the small Italian shop with the coffee that you liked
And when our eyes met I couldn't look away
My mouth opened to speak, but there wasn't much to say
I was frozen, transfixed, by the way that you looked
You grabbed me and pulled me into a small nook
Where we kissed like we had never tasted lips before
And I still wanted more, I still want more
But I'm frightened of what these words might bring
It's important for me to remember these things
I'm frightened of what these words might bring
It's important for me to remember these things
You're too far away for this to make sense
In my heart I can feel every mile of distance
I don't want it to stop because I know what that means
The song will be over and so will you and me
The song will be over and so will you and me
The song
