Lifetime - Straight White Teeth, SouthWick

Climbing through the circle on your back

Less like a war, more like a panic attack slowed down

He couldn’t wait to have you by his side for a lifetime

The best man’s daughter calls your name

Under the light of a stained glass window paint, she whispers

«There's no shame in running home, this time»

And if you believe

That your love is true

Light would bend right now, form

Shapes here in front of you

But he’s just too close

And he cannot see you

For a lifetime

Begging like an angel for your name

Eyes fixed on the door from where you came in last night

You greet my presence like a ghost, and it aint right

And in this moment I possess

Some vivid love, not fear of death, darling

I couldn’t wait to have you by my side for a lifetime

And if you believe

That my love is true

Light would bend right now

To form shapes here in front of you

You are too far now

And I cannot see you

For a lifetime
