When you smile
It takes my breath away
Could you have been alive
Before today?
How could perfection
Like you exist?
I'll never tell you
I'm feeling like this
Let's go to Paris
Set adrift on love
Even if the boat tips
I'll never give you up
I love your orange flare
I love your short brown hair
With you everything's so clear
In your gentleness I'm ensnared
You're like powdered sugar
Sweet and light
Hidden in a jar
A secret delight
Yellow hot air balloons overhead
Lazily taking flight
Baskets tumbling down to earth
Cool dusk air inside
I'm so glad to have met you now
Mademoiselle Madeline

The box was heavy
Wooden and worn
I opened the lid
It's dust was torn
Creaking on its hinges
It revealed a girl
Coming to existence in music
And a slow, sad twirl
Churning out the melancholy tune
She went round and round
Reminding me of you
When the song was over
And she ceased to spin
I shut my eyes
And closed the lid

Turning the thoughts over
Again and again
Sweet, dancing lover
Trapped in my head
Slow and melancholy
Swooping low to the ground
Springing back up
To my heart beats sound
Fluttering softly
Round and round
Spiraling silently
Long, graceful bounds
Our feet fall into places
That our eyes cannot see
Avoiding eachother's faces
Ignorance like a sheath
I hated your innocence
So pure and niave
When we are dancing
I think of these things

So easy for you to forget me
When I'm choking on smoke
Till I can't breathe
Wishing they'll just go
All these worthless memories
Rotting in my teeth
Like decaying dead bodies
Just sweep me underneath your rug
Stand me up straight, bandage me up
What you said and what you did
The opposite of love
How can I live
Poison burning in my throat
Just to forget the letters we wrote
Just **** me up
Shatter my hope
I'm paying for your sins
Closing the curtains after your shows
I'm begging for death
You're sitting at home
Drowning in hurt
No one knows

I'm just an after thought
Pick up where you left off
Forget about me
Like I came in 16th
Hundreth in a marathon
Running through your mind
Tell me do you think of me
Even just sometimes ?
I'm dying in your memories
A dwindling fire
Till I'm up in smoke
A lost hope
A burnt out desire

Love these cotton candy skies
Sweet like everything's alright
Fairground fields stretching for miles
Sugar sweet tears beneath my eyes

I'll never forget these hazy summer nights
I'll never forget the loneliness inside
