Artist : Bright Eyes 
Title : A Perfect Sonnet 
----------------- 
Lately I've been wishing I had one desire 
Something that would make me never want another 
Something that would make it so that nothing matters 
All would be clear then 

But I guess I'll have to settle for a for a few brief moments 
And watch it all dissolve into a single second 
And try to write it down into a perfect sonnet 
Or one foolish line 

Cause that's all that you'll get 
So you'll have to accept 
You are here and then you're gone 

But I believe that lovers should be tied together 
Thrown into the ocean in the worst of weather 
Left there to drown 
Left there to drown in their innocence 

But as for me I'm coming to the final chapter 
I read all of the pages and there's still no answer 
Only all that was before I know must soon come after 
That's the only way it can be 

So I stand in the sun 
And I breathe with my lungs 
Trying to spare me the weight of the truth 

Saying everything you've ever seen was just a mirror 
You've spent your whole life sweating in an endless fever 
And laying in a bathtub full of freezing water 
Wishing you were a ghost 

But once you knew a girl and you named her "Lover" 
Danced with her in kitchens through the greenest summer 
But autumn came, she disappeared, you can't remember 
Where she said she was going to 

But you know that she's gone 
Cause she left you a song 
That you don't want to sing 

Singing, I believe that lovers should be chained together 
Thrown into a fire with their songs and letters 
Left there to burn 
Left there to burn in their arrogance 

But as for me I'm coming to my final failure 
I've killed myself with changes trying to make things better 
And ended up becoming something other 
than what I had planned to be 

All right 

I believe that lovers should be draped in flowers 
And laid entwined together on a bed of clovers 
Left there to sleep 
Left there to dream of their happiness
