Mercury

[Verse 1]
Sunday's the mosaic
Those nights smelled like popcorn
Lift your hands up, the men would say
Sing a new song
It's like photographs of heaven
A future from afar
Then we drive home in that Volvo
I was miserable in that car

[Pre-Chorus]
Was it a shock
To be the man
To be the man

[Chorus]
All my dreams are killing me
I cannot reach the old emotion
The moments I'm after, have vanished forever
It took so long for me to notice

[Verse 2]
A young mother and a rockstar
But he couldn't pay her bill
With a wife full of ambition
That complicated that deal
And when you came home after midnight
I always knew why
But I really loved the freedom
The boys in the night

[Chorus]
All my dreams are killing me
I cannot reach the old emotion
The moments I'm after, have vanished forever
It took so long for me to notice
For me to notice

[Bridge]
Do you blame yourself at all
For what was lost, tell me
Did you do everything that you could
Seems like it was nothing to you
Was it tough to give up on your family
I used to be so afraid of the future
But you told me everything would stay the same
And I believed you

[Chorus]
All my dreams are killing me
Why can't we reach the old emotion
It seems like we'll never be all together
It took so long for me to notice
