raise your glasses half empty
the needle skips, spinning over and over
all the drunks and their floosies pour out of the bars
run away with me now, our heads dizzy with stars
run away with me now, this is love it would seem
just pray things for one moment might stop in the swing
all the people we've lost, all the things i forgot
oh i do believe that love is coming soon

raise your glass for that bastard,
the things that he did were unspeakable, low
darling, we were just kids
run away with me now we'll forget all about things:
i'm here, i'll set you apart
run away with me now, this is love it would seem
just pray things for one moment might stop in the swing
all the people we've lost
all the things that i doubted are drifting away to the seas
