lyrics

Drunk at that party, we got married,
in our pairs of matching shades
the shade of cherry blooms,
drifting down the starlit garden.

I remember thinking, ‘Hey,
I mustn’t let this moment fade’…
but morning came; now where are you?
Somewhere far and darkened,
as I try to let go.

No more nostalgia, I can’t stand it.
A century of habit: we drink and say,
‘Those were the days, and now the world is broken.’
Nothing’s broken just because we change and age.

I like to think every evening
I will burn a couple more
of those old polaroids
shining from my memory ceiling:

endless blue New Zealand sky;
school uniform and Daddy’s pride;
and you beside me on that day,
silently awaiting my embrace.
I let go.

No more nostalgia, I can’t stand it.
A century of habit: we drink and say,
‘Those were the days, and now the world is broken.’
Nothing’s broken, no.

No more nostalgia, I can’t stand it.
I’m riding out to grab it: the heart of space.
These are the days from which our lives are woven.
The night is open. Time to put away the pink shades.
