The Wonder Of It All

(Album: Exorcism Of Youth - 2023)

This lightning, so frightening
Ducked out, I wanna spend the night in
With you, dear, and your stories
Frame me, I crave your pretty glory

And if I'm not mistaken
It's your heart that's been breaking
But stone me till the river runs red

The time we had the atmosphere
We never meant to fall
But now I see the truth and you're
The wonder of, the wonder of it all

Expensive but tasteful
I don't mind, I need something to bet on
'Cause bad habits turn crazy
When my girl is telling me she hates me

That I was mistaken
No, it's my heart that's been taken
But stone me till the river runs red

The time we had the atmosphere
We never meant to fall
We live to tell the tale
It's not a ring without a stone
A crazy kind of chemistry
We never meant to fall
But now I see the truth
And you're the wonder of, the wonder of it all

You and me arguing the lyrics to The House Of The Rising Sun
Two of us sucking on our cigarettes
Wishing that we weren't so young, young, young
Let's get right back to all the gibberish
Stop living in our old dull brains
And such painless dreaming
Always wins

But I was mistaken
Now it's your heart that's been taken
But stone me till the river runs red
Still stone me till the river runs red

The time we had the atmosphere
We never meant to fall
We live to tell the tale
It's not a ring without a stone
A crazy kind of chemistry
We never meant to fall
But now I see the truth and you're
The wonder of, the wonder of it all
