lyrics
all my life
is folding to this minute
in your pretty hands
with this box
I harbor in my pocket
like a secret plan
when we drink
we teeter near the topic
but you change the tune
now your glass of wine
is streaked with empty
I’m running outta soon
“I do” or “adieu”
I need “I do” or “adieu”
took a walk alone
as the sidewalk simmered
on that balmy night
in this urban orb
churning on and ever
we’re just fireflies
“I do” or “adieu”
I need “I do” or “adieu”
your dress blinding white
like a seaside in July
pictures burning in my mind's eye
“I do” or “adieu”
it was “I do” or “adieu”
