"When it is all over...it's like a kaleidoscope of memories. It all comes back, but he never does. I think part of me knew the second I saw him that this would happen. It's not really anything he said, or anything he did. It was the feeling that came along with it. And the crazy thing is I don't know if I am ever going to feel that way again...but I don't know if I should..."
"I'm dancing on my own. I make the moves up as I go. And that's what they don't know...But I keep cruising, can't stop, won't stop grooving. It's like I got this music in my mind saying, 'It's gonna be alright.'...I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake. I shake it off, I shake it off...And to the fella over there with the hella good hair, won't you come on over, baby? We can shake, shake, shake."
"And for the first time what's past is past..."
"One look, dark room, meant just for you. Time moved too fast. You play it back: [blue from his] coat, lighthearted joke. No proof, not much, but you saw enough. Small talk...coffee at midnight. No proof, one touch, you felt enough...And for once you let go of your fears and your ghosts. One step, not much, but it said enough. You kiss on sidewalks..."
"I've been spending the last [several years] thinking all love ever does is break and burn and end, but on a Wednesday in a café I watched it begin again."
"Nice to meet you, where you been? I could show you incredible things: magic, madness, heaven, sin. Saw you there and I thought, 'Oh my God, look at that face! You look like my next mistake."
"You got that James Dean daydream look in your eye. And I got that red lip classic thing that you like...We never go out of style. You got that [full hair and button-down shirt]. And I got that good girl faith and a [bright red jumpsuit]...Take me home! Just take me home!"
"Looking at it now, last [September], we were built to fall apart...[My arms hanging from your neck], the night we couldn't quite forget, when we decided...[to dance]. Baby, like we stood a chance."
"He said, 'Let's get out of this town, drive out of the city, away from the crowds.' I thought heaven can't help me now. Nothing lasts forever, but this is gonna take me down! He's so tall and handsome as hell! [Is he] so bad? But he does it so well. I can see the end as it begins, my one condition is: Say you'll remember me standing in a [jumpsuit], staring at [you], babe. Red lips and rosy cheeks, say you'll see me again even if it's just in your wildest dreams...His hands are in my hair...And his voice is a familiar sound, nothing lasts forever but this is getting good now. He's so tall and handsome as hell! He's so bad? But he does it so well. And when we've had our very last kiss, my last request it is: Say you'll remember me standing in a [red jumpsuit], staring at [you], babe. Red lips and rosy cheeks, say you'll see me again even if it's just in your wildest dreams." Should I regret not being, "tangled up [with you]...all night, burning it down[?!] Someday when you leave me, I bet these memories follow you around."
"All you had to do was stay. [You] had me in the palm of your hand...You were all I wanted! But not like this...not like this..."
"Flashing lights and we took a wrong turn and we fell down a rabbit hole. You held on tight to me 'cause nothing's as it seems. I'm spinning out of control. Didn't they tell us don't rush into things? Didn't you flash your [blue] eyes at me? Haven't you heard what becomes of curious minds? Didn't it all seem new and exciting? I felt your arms twisting around me...We found wonderland. You and I got lost in it. And [I] pretended it could last forever. We found wonderland. You and I got lost in it. And life was never worse but never better...Didn't they tell us don't rush into things? Didn't [I] flash [my] green eyes at [you]? Didn't you calm my fears with a Cheshire cat smile? Didn't it all seem new and exciting? I felt your arms twisting around me. It's all fun and games 'til somebody loses their mind. But darling, we found wonderland. You and I got lost in it. And [I] pretended it could last forever...I reached for you but you were gone. I knew I had to go back home. You search the world for something else to make you feel like what we had, and in the end in wonderland we both went..."
"Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street: faster than the wind, passionate as sin, ending so suddenly. Loving him is like trying to change your mind once you're already flying through the free fall, like the colors in autumn, so bright just before they lose it all...Touching him was like realizing all you ever wanted was right there in front of you. Memorizing him was as easy as knowing all the words to your old favorite song. Fighting with him was like trying to solve a crossword and realizing there's no right answer. Regretting him was like wishing you never found out that love could be that strong...Remembering him comes in flashbacks and echoes. Tell myself it's time now, gotta let go, but moving on from him is impossible when I still see it all in my head in burning red...Losing him was blue like I'd never known. Missing him was dark grey all alone. Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met, but loving him was red. Loving him was red."
"Clear blue water, high tide came and brought you in. And I could go on and on, on and on, and I will. Skies grew darker, currents swept you out again. And you were just gone and gone, gone and gone. In silent screams, in wildest dreams, I never dreamed of this. This love is good, this love is bad." Will, "this love [come] alive back from the dead?" "These hands had to let it go free. And [I hope] this love [comes] back to me." My fear is, "tossing, turning, [and struggling] through the night with someone new. And I could go on and on, on and on. Lantern burning, flickered in my mind for only you, but you're still gone, gone, gone." I've, "been losing grip, oh, sinking ships." Will, "you show up just in time?" "This love left a permanent mark. This love is glowing in the dark. These hands had to let it go free." Will, "this love came back to me?" "Your kiss, my cheek, [you] watched [me] leave. Your smile, my ghost, I fell to my knees. When you're young you just run, but [will] you come back to what you need...?"
"The more I think about it now, the less I know."
"I wish you knew that I'll never forget you as long as I live. And I wish you were right here, right now..."
