violin concerto in the key of crippling regret - the small calamities lyrics

[verse 1]
i have a dream every once in a while
i am down in a bas*m*nt and lost in your smile
then you fl!cker away as i step on the train
and when i wake up i am whispering your name

[verse 2]
there are things that i said that i shouldn’t have said
there are things i remember i wish i’d forget
there is pain in your eyes that i never could know
there are places you’ve been no one ever should go

[chorus 1]
you arе a folded up paper doll haunting the words that i strugglе to say
you are a book that i left at a restaurant so many summers away
you are the roar of an orchestra, i know this all sounds a little cliche but i didn’t know

[verse 3]
seared in my memories, your polka*dot gown…
when the levees collapsed any good*will we found
flood out the laughter with deafening sighs
straightening your curls out and rolling your eyes

[verse 4]
scream for the monsters that kicked down your walls
scream for some dumb afternoon in the fall
scream for parishioners knelt in your grace
scream for the symphony light on your face
scream for the tempest and scream for the calm
scream for the days you can barely hold on
scream for the healing and scream for the ache
scream for emotions you struggle to fake
i’ll scream for forgiveness for every mistake
[chorus 2]
i am a picture you’ve learned to ignore, just a memory you’d like to erase
i am a specter in high definition, a flashback you don’t want to chase
i am a power chord washed in distortion… too dumb to imagine your sp*ce and i didn’t know

[bridge]
i can’t return the last gift that i got for you
that’s not a metaphor, there is a 30 day limit
and we can’t return to the past
no bar karaoke or text conversations or bridges on fire (ok, that one’s a metaphor)
but if you could give me the benefit of any shred of self doubt that i have…

[coda]
when the clock touches midnight, it won’t go away
with mysterious magic, it won’t go away
in ballgowns and chariots, it won’t go away
at the worst f*cking airport, it won’t go away
with sacred devotion, it won’t go away
in perpetual motion, it won’t go away
in the deepest blue ocean, it won’t go away
with fleeting emotion, it won’t go away
with words of forgiveness, it won’t go away
with terrible scars, no it won’t go away
with confessions and tears, no it won’t go away
in a million years, no it won’t go away
[end tag]
i have a dream every now and again where i’m dead in the water or drowning in sin
