can't this be the last song
that is dedicated on
potential, desecrated
once populated-decimated
its such a lonely life
such sugar hearts have desolved in the air
ancient apples in their hands
salt water swedish fishes
can't sugar coat my sadness
and all the old candy
is covered in a thick fuzz
who knew we had a shelf life
who knew your hearts' carbon dated
i knew we'd deteriorate
if you left me hanging on the wall
(unpredictably predictable)
your swinging in my head
but that swing hasnt been oiled in so long
and its me that kept it warm
salt water swedish fishes
can't sugar coat my sadness
and all the old candy
is covered in a thick fuzz
salt water swedish fishes
can't sugar coat my sadness
and all the old candy
is covered in a thick fuzz
it makes me feel sick to think of it
have to find the way out of this
the torch gets passed to one seemed bliss
who turns and runs, so who is next
listen please..
we know why its in my head
you won't say we're carbon dated
i know we'll deteriorate
if you leave me hanging on the wall
(unpredictably predictable)
your swinging in my head
please keep that swing as it is oiled for so long
and it'll be you keeping me warm
salt water swedish fishes
can't sugar coat my sadness
and all the old candy
is covered in a thick fuzz
who knew we had a shelf life
who knew your hearts' carbon dated
i knew we'd deteriorate
if you left me hanging on the wall
(unpredictably predictable)
your swinging in my head
but that swing hasnt been oiled in so long
and its me that kept it warm
and its me that kept it warm
looking out in the evening
reaching into my pocket reflecting
and all that old candy
is covered in a thick fuzz
