I woke up in the dark
Having dreamt I was in pursuit
Piling on the circular talk
Just like I used to do
I suppose this is serious love
The kind that just won't be snuffed
The kind of love that never dies
The sort of stuff that ruins lives
Burn the love dreams
Burn 'em for safekeeping
Save the love dreams
Save 'em on the garbage heap
If you lived here, you'd be home by now
If you loved me, you'd've let on by now
Did you forget what you said?
Did I misinterpret it?
Vague and softspoken
Over AIM
Five long years ago
Feels like that and twenty-some-odd more
You said, "I'm sorry, but
You are so beautiful"
Burn the love dreams
Burn 'em for safekeeping
Fill the love dreams
Fill 'em while you're leaving
If you loved me, you'd be home by now
If you lived here, you'd've shown by now
Did you forsake your vow?
Did I misinterpret it somehow?
That delicious little hiccup in
Space-time's continuin'
You were six-fucking-teen
Maybe it didn't mean anything
Maybe it was just one of those things
Whatever that means
If you lived here, you'd be home by now
If you loved me, I guess I'd know by now
Burn the love dreams
Burn 'em for safekeeping
Save the love dreams
Save 'em on the garbage heap
If you lived here, you'd be home by now
If you loved me, you'd've let on by now
