Lilacs — Matt Costa

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
