Drowning Shakespeare - For All The Great Poets lyrics

ive been down this road before

but tonight i cant stay between the lines

its whats under that skirt thats pushing us into the oncoming

& you were looking forward while i was looking backward

im a victim of your time

our eyes black as our hearts

& i was searching outward

and you were hoping someone would compromise in time

(but in this light they shine like a thousand candles lit in remembrance)

flashing headlights and horns fill the night

& all thats on my mind is getting you home

but for all the wrong reasons

or are they right?

or are they right?

how strange is it that after we collide

& bopnoes break through glass

that we still hold these smiles

we still hold these smiles

for all the wrong reasons

& you were looking forward while i was looking backward

im a victim of your time

our eyes black as our hearts

& i was searching outward

and you were hoping someone would compromise in time

(but in this light they shine like a thousand candles lit in remembrance)

in remembrance

remember these words

when you lose your touch

you know what they say

ill remember

its just the fact that all great poets will eventually kill themselves

& sweetheart you should become a poet too.

& you were looking forward while i was looking backward

im a victim of your time

our eyes black as our hearts

& i was searching outward

and you were hoping someone would compromise in time

(but in this light they shine like a thousand candles lit in remembrance)
