Who's gonna stop us from waltzing back into rekindled flames If we know the steps anyway? We embroidered the memories of the time I was away Stitching: We were just kids, babe I said: I don't mind, it takes time I thought I was better safe than starry-eyed I felt aglow like this Never before and never since If you know it in one glimpse, it's legendary You and I go from one kiss to getting married Still alive, killing time at the cemetery Never quite buried In your suit and tie, in the nick of time You low-down boy, you stand up guy You Holy Ghost, you told me I'm the love of your life You said I'm the love of your life About a million times Say you're sorry, that face of an angel Comes out just when you need it to As I paced back and forth all this time 'Cause I honestly believed in you Holdin' on, the days drag on Stupid girl, I shoulda known, I shoulda known That I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairytale I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet, lead her up the stairwell This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town I was a dreamer before you went and let me down Now, it's too late for you and your white horse To come around And there you are on your knees Beggin' for forgiveness, beggin' for me Just like I always wanted But I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry 'Cause you, shit-talked me under the table Talkin' rings and talkin' cradles I wish I could un-recall How we almost had it all Dancing phantoms on the terrace Are they second-hand embarrassed That I can't get out of bed 'Cause something counterfeit's dead? It was legendary It was momentary It was unnecessary Should've let it stay buried Oh, what a valiant roar What a bland goodbye The coward claimed he was a lion I'm combing through the braids of lies I'll never leave, never mind Our field of dreams engulfed in fire Your arson's match, your somber eyes And I'll still see it until I die You're the loss of my life 'Cause I'm not your princess, this ain't our fairytale I'm gonna find someone someday who might actually treat me well This is a big world, that was a small town There in my rear view mirror disappearing now And it's too late for you and your white horse And, it's too late for you and your white horse To catch me now Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa Try and catch me now, oh It's too late to catch me now
