lyrics

imagination always leads to pain
temptation never gives a second chance
for you i’d throw away my compass
and lay my weary head upon your breast
funny how the tides can quickly turn
funny how your heart can quickly yearn
one look changes her into a bride
one look stumbles you and steals your pride
and when i noticed that you had a light within
just like a moth, there was no escape for me
and so i’m waiting, hoping for good intent
are you a lighthouse or an electric current?
your smile is all i think about each day
every dream i have you invade
i try to brush it off as just a phase
and hope it only lasts a few more days
but intuition tells me you’re the one
and i know we would have so much fun
i’d try to make you laugh constantly
unveiling precious dimples in your cheeks
marie, marie, quite contrary
