Maybe in Five Years

I've got no patience for dreams
Unless they're my own
It's the perfect metaphor
For how I treated our love
You could never trust me
You could never let it go
Long enough to see me
Only to remember the love that we made
The house that we shared
But now it's too late

Maybe in five years' time
We could get back together
We could forget our pain
Or we could forget each other

I never gave you a reason
To have any faith in me
When I first said I love you
I was high on ecstasy
When I came down, I swear I still felt it
You couldn't trust it
You couldn't trust me
Only to remember
The dog that we shared
The sex and the violence
It's all just too sad

Maybe in five years' time
We could get back together
We could forget our pain
Or we could forget each other
Maybe in five years' time
We could get back together
If I could ever call you mine
I would be yours forever

Forever, forever, forever, forever

You're a once-in-a-lifetime girl
But I could never tell the shit from the roses
Looking through me like you want me to go
Now I live with the choices
We went from friends to lovers
In the course of a weekend
What did you think would happen? (Stupid)
We got on like a house on fire
Just to watch it all burn down

We could get back together

I saw myself in you
Saw only what I wanted to
You are a once-in-a-lifetime girl
But I could never tell the shit from the roses
Said I built you a courtyard

When I look into your tangerine eyes
I could give up
Everything is meaningless
Life with you is enough
We could get back together

And if the whole world goes Mad Max tonight
I'll suffer silently
And if we can't work it out
I'll miss you with dignity

I'll be living with the ghost of the girl I love
For the rest of my life
