MATT COSTA LYRICS - Lilacs

"Lilacs"



You were right, I was up all night

Thinking about you

Dreamed I choked on your kaleidoscope

Now you still look deadly



My fatal flower how the tigers all laughed

As I ran along the well worn paths



Sapphire eye looks down on my lilacs

Down on my lilacs, down on my lilacs

Down on me, down on me, down on



Insincere as we rolled for years in turning barrels

I washed my hands in the lake

As you blew it all away with roman candles

So take your fever, let me wallow alone

The callus on your eyes have grown



Sapphire eye looks down on my lilacs

Down on my lilacs, down on my lilacs

Down on me, down on me, down on



And your faults have me stoned

Paying rent to your ghost

Torn up by a frightened little girl



I thought that you were right

So I was up all night thinking about you

I thought that you were right, you were right

You were right, you were



You were right, and I was up all night

Thinking about you

And I couldn't speak

Covered with bees you flew above me

Figured it all out, I think you've had enough time

I've had long enough to change my mind



And a sapphire eye looks down on my lilacs

Down on my lilacs, down on my lilacs

Down on me, down on me, down on



And your faults have me stone

Paying rent to your ghost

Torn up by a frightened little girl

I thought that you were right

And I was up all night thinking about you



You were right, so I was up all night

Thinking about you

I thought you were right, you were right

You were right, you were
