Mascara

I'll romanticize the gum under my shoe
Sticking to Clapton Station platform
Not knowing which train or direction to choose
I'll romanticize the outlines of your spine
As you lie on the tatami mat
With your head between my thighs

I'll romanticize running up the oak
When the crooked branch snapped
And caught your navy blue coat and you fell down
I'll romanticize these days long gone
And I'll romanticize the times yet to come

And I'll romanticize this life
As though we could live it twice

And then we dance
At 3 a.m. at Mascara Bar
Oh, we dance
As you walk me to my door under the sky that has no stars
Then we dance
Oh, how I've missed you
Oh, I wanna kiss you
And then we dance
Woven in each other's tissue
Fill all my holes with you

Oh, we dance, we dance, we dance, we dance, we dance
And then we dance, we dance, we dance, we dance, we dance

I'll romanticize the things we've talked about and never did
It's water under the bridge
Cucumbers sandwich lovers
Softly kissing your eyelids

I'll romanticize wearing sunglasses in pitch dark
Dressed to the nines, walking in circles around Hackney Downs Park
I'll romanticize these days long gone
And I'll romanticize the times yet to come

And I'll romanticize this life
As though we could live it twice

And then we dance
At 3 a.m. at Mascara Bar
Oh, we dance
As you walk me to my door under the sky that has no stars
Then we dance
Oh, how I've missed you
Oh, I wanna kiss you
And then we dance
Woven in each other's tissue
Fill all my holes with you

Then we dance, we dance, we dance, we dance, we dance
Oh, and then we dance, we dance, we dance, we dance, we dance
Oh, and then we dance, we dance, we dance, we dance, we dance
Oh, we dance, we dance, we dance, we dance, we dance

I'll romanticize this life
As though we could live it twice
