Sugarplum Elegy

Seven months older
Air's getting cold, our bed's startin' to creak
God knows where you are
I'm here waiting for love through a screen
You show me the outfit you chose
For the dinner and tonight's show
Must be nice to be your clothes
Second to none even at your worst
Sometimes I wish you'd put me first
Nowadays you're such a blur
We keep dancing around the innocent truth that we're just...
Out of time (ooh)
Must I die before you feel alive? (ooh)
A curse in a graceful disguise
I love you too much to stay in love
How are you darling?
How are you, really?
How was Taiwan? (you never say)
Thanks for the flowers, but you've been here hours
Yet your coat's still very much on
Tiptoein' around the bitter truth but we both know...
It's just time (ooh)
Must I die before you feel alive? (ooh)
A curse in a graceful disguise
Great was our love, it was one for the books
We gave it the best we could
But I won't recite all my lines just to watch you and I lie
I'm so proud I got to love you once
