Forever Got Shorter

Braid


let's go undercover 
like young lovers should 
cause I can kiss you better 
then this letter could 
and you say 

at least under 
these covers 
I listen to you 
And all this music about you 
I hope it finds you smiling again

till never begins 
or till forever ends 
I'll still be lost in poetics 
or lost in the mail
can nobody tell you 
these guys have a passion for fashion 
but are sincere like a statue 
and if you have to choose 
I am gonna lose 
I always do 
we always do
nostalgia is drunk 
and frustration can be gorgeous 
but can i keep my mouth shut

(I listen to you 
And all this music about you 
I hope it finds you smiling again
till never begins 
or till forever ends )

cause sometimes gorgeous can be frustration
when your life is nothing
but an honorable mention
on a radio, on the radio.
maybe i'm a baby
but i think it's time to grow.
you're everything i live for
-ever got shorter.
i'll know on a radio better
I'm a quitter than a starry
tortured soul

the lips I kissed now shape songs of sadness 
hold me dear when I'm away 
and I'll know when I hear your name 
even if I have to sing it to myself.
