Nemesis

(альбом: Such Pretty Forks In The Road - 2020)

So I opened the front door, you walked in all handsome
And ready for something you saw in my eyes
Right here, we sat and we tripped out
Saw celestial mosaics, and I fell and I crawled over and held your hand

And nobody worried about the roof being blown off
So I went farther than I'd ever gone before

Change, you are my nemesis
Transition, I hold my breath
This about-face, I'm excited, I'm excited yet
I'm filled with despair, anticipation and dread
This metamorphosis closed the door and opened a window

And so I climbed the stairs and bled, and here was a star seed
Right here he came to us in the bed in our bedroom
And you trusted me enough to follow me anywhere
Or the other way around, the other way around as well

And I blocked my nose and dove in the deep end
And swam like my life depended on it, and it did

Change, you are my nemesis
Transition, I hold my breath
This about-face, I'm excited, I'm excited yet
I'm filled with despair, anticipation and dread
This metamorphosis closed the door and opened a window

Oh, no
Oh, no

Right here, in this very backyard, we promised forever
And we put our helmets on and threw the confetti
And then there's the phone call
Telling me to breathe in through my nose and out my mouth

And out came our girl, faster than we thought
And now I am beyond recognition
I guess that's a good thing, and still, I want to go deeper

Change, you are my nemesis
Transition, I hold my breath
This about-face, I'm excited, I'm excited yet
I'm filled with despair, anticipation and dread
This metamorphosis closed the door and opened a window
