Matt Costa Lilacs Lyrics

Lilacs Lyrics

Lilacs

You were right I was up all night

Thinking about you

Dreamed I choked on your kaleidoscope

Now you still look deadly

My fatal flower how the tigers all laughed

As I ran along the well worn
paths

Sapphire eye looks down on my lilacs

Down on my lilacs, down
on my lilacs

Down on me, down on me, down on

Insincere as we rolled
for years

In turning barrels

I washed my hands in the lake

As
you blew it all away with roman candles

So take your fever let me wallow
alone

The callus on your eyes have grown

Sapphire eye looks down on
my lilacs

Down on my lilacs, down on my lilacs

Down on me, down on
me, down on

And your faults have me stoned

Paying rent to your
ghost

Torn up by a frightened little girl

I thought that you were
right

So I was up all night thinking about you

I thought that you
were right, you were right

You were right, you were right

You were
right and I was up all night thinking

about you

And I couldn’t
speak, covered with bees you flew

above me

Figured it all out, I
think you’ve had enough time

I’ve had long enough to change my mind
