When we met I didn’t know which way to go
But you said you’re good at guessing, and I dared to take your word
So you threw us high
And then you threw us low
Like the sailors you have sent us to go crashing to the sea
And then you said- the land is mine
The sea is yours
But you wouldn’t be so lucky
If I came to seek you there
I must admit- I'ts getting better than before
I’m sorry, I knew where I was
And I knew where I was drove me mad
And if I didn’t, please forgive me
I’m not sure I do remember you
I do remember you
I do remember what you said
And if I don’t, can you forgive me?
I’m not sure I do remember you
I do remember you
I do remember what I had
And if I don’t- you must forgive me
I’m not sure I do remember
All the right things, I remember
How the truth made me so sad
And I remember how you wrote to me
In third person, saying-
Out here all the babies are dressed in blue
And all the children are dressed in blue
And all the men are dressed in blue
But it’s all right, its okay cause guess what you said
All the ladies are dressed in red
And they’re sane
And they’re mad
And they’re happy and sad
Here all the ladies are dressed in red
They said I learned how to love but I’m laughing instead
Yes, I’m laughing instead
But I’m fine.
And the only thing they know for sure
Without a doubt they could adore
My monsters growing wings
My monsters growing wings
And the only thing without a doubt
I hear them now; they scream and shout, they say they lost their meanings-
If they lost I guess I’m winning.
All the ladies are dressed in red
They said they’re good but it’s clear they prefer to be bad
Here all the ladies are dressed in red, I said I learned how to love but I’m laughing instead
Yes, I’m laughing instead
But I’m fine.
