The title of this song is a (too) much popular phrase that was originally used by English novelist Edward Bulwer-Lytton as the opening sentence for his 1830 novel Paul Clifford. The incipit was then brought to fame by its usage in the Peanuts comics whenever protagonist Snoopy tries to write a nove...
[Intro]
Have you ever actually seen yourself without a mirror?
To slip through the cracks of the universe
My love so true, is my gift to you
Trapped in a world that was dreamt by a madman
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Little did he know his dreams would come true
I’m on to you! I’m on to you!
[Verse 1]
Think, if only he could see the gorgeous rage
Then maybe he would never have bled ink on page
An artist, he was so consumed by a world he saw in his mind
A world sadistic with lies and panicking cries
[Pre-Chorus]
Our world is so callous and cold, empty and lost
I’ll bleed for you, to change it all, I’ll die for you to save us all
This could be our only chance
This could be our only hope
[Chorus]
Lost in your passion, endless attraction, forever yours
You make me feel like I’m invincible
Love sings such a sweet ending
Ballad of lust, anticipate the irresistible
[Verse 2]
Changing the end means going back to where it all began
If we survive we take control and start again
You’ve lost your mind, tear the fabric of time itself?!
Stay close to me, I will rewrite history for you
[Pre-Chorus]
This could be our only chance
This could be our only hope
[Chorus]
Lost in your passion, endless attraction, forever yours
You make me feel like I’m invincible
Love sings such a sweet ending
Ballad of lust, anticipate the irresistible
[Bridge]
As your hand drifts from mine
Two hearts still intertwined
Across both space and time
Remember I am yours
I am yours
Remember I am yours
[Refrain]
Time seizes my hand
Only a fool is never afraid
[Chorus]
Lost in your passion, endless attraction, forever yours
You make me feel like I’m invincible
Love sings such a sweet ending
Ballad of lust, anticipate the irresistible
Forever yours, irresistible
Forever yours, you make me feel like I’m invincible
Annabel please don’t go
I’ll be fine, we’ll be fine
