Aging Love

(专辑： Bruises - 2015)

Meet you same time, usual place at the edge of town,
By the cemetery gates by the house where the watcher lived,
Where our parents said he killed those kids,
You're there in your car with the radio humming a song.
I'd forbidden myself from ever hearing again my dear,
But even after all these years.

Your words rattle round in my head, I love you but this can't go on.

Why is an aging love so wrong?
You promised we would be forever.
Why is an aging love so wrong?
I should've known we'd never stay together.

But recently I heard a rumour you moved back home,
with a kid and a husband, a mortgage, a crying shame,
Remember all those plans you made.
But I got away, years ago, somehow I struck gold,
and returned 20 years since the evening I left our town,
I went and bought the watchers house.

Your words still rattle round in my head, I loved you but this can't go on.

Why is an aging love so wrong?
You promised we would be forever;
Why is an aging love so wrong?
I should've known we'd never stay together.

It's like a spirit's possess me
Hear voices in every room,
There's this hatred inside me for everything that's clean and pure,
This hatred leads me to your door,
But it's her standing there, just like you were at that age.

I ask her if she'll take a ride just for old times' sake; to the cemetery gates,
And she's smiling the way you used to smile,
But as she steps inside, I see the horror in her eyes;

And that's when I discard the façade and embrace the watcher's legacy.

Why is an aging love so wrong?
You promised we would be forever.
Why is an aging love so wrong?
I should've known we'd never stay together.
