Gatsby

Soon I'll be with you
With eyes as bright
Like rain on a windshield, we don't last long
You were my friend
How else could you have known?
And then you were gone and I was alone
The great Mr. Gatsby
Dirty-haired angel in a white three-piece suit
Stuck a knife in his heart
and one in mine
Holes in his hands
And doubt in his arms
Eat your heart out
Eat your heart out
Our love was a concept
That won't be found deep in the ocean
of things not believed
The chords of confusion
The voice of a child
An arrow, born broken
And shot in the wrong place

Your El Dorado

I want to find it,
your El Dorado
That golden city where you go
No more cathedrals
No more casinos
No more pretending that I’m there
Where do you go? Can I go there?
Where did you get that perfect heart?
I want to know, can I go there
Can I go there anymore?
I ran my fingers through bushes burning
but I felt nothing, only heat
Brought down the truth from
the holy mountain
But I felt nothing, only cold
Where do you go? Can I go there?
Where did you get that perfect heart?
I want to know, can I go there
Can I go there anymore?
Give in to nature
You can't deny it
There is direction in a fall
Take off your seatbelt and fall for miles
Your body whispers
Your body whispers at that speed
Where do you go? Can I go there?
Where did you get that perfect heart?
I want to know, can I go there
Can I go there anymore?

Here's to the mess we started
and here's looking at you
Thought I had a handle on it
but that wasn't true
Thought I was a pyromancer
Thought fire had all the answers
but I didn't know what fire could do
I couldn't stop my staring
now look where it led
Thought I had a handle on you
now I'm over my head
My love was was a faceless diamond
pulled out of a field of diamonds
hoping to shine its light on you
Darling I can't keep up
Can't run away with you
It was fun then but now it's not
and I don't know what to do
Thought I was big and strong
but I didn't weigh a thing
You were the heavy one
so just go easy on me
Here's to the light we shared
then threw into the sea
Thought you could tell it hurt me
but you didn't see
My love was was a faceless diamond
pulled out of a field of diamonds
hoping to shine its light on you
Darling I can't keep up
can't run away with you
It was fun then but now it's not
and I don't know what to do
Thought I was big and strong
but I didn't weigh a thing
You were the heavy one
so just go easy on me
So baby where's this heading?
Where's this place i'm dreading?
Wake me when it's over
I'm over
I'm over my head
