let's run away together
yeah let's just kiss this world goodbye
we'll dress in tar and feather
and sneak away from here tonight

I'd kiss you every time I had the chance to try
I'd trace your body lines
we may not get along as perfect as you want
but is that a surprise?

oh dear...

dearest restless
don't you say goodbye
I'm not embellishing
I think you're torturing me
oh dearest restless
don't you dare resign
it would be punishment enough for a lifetime

I have been caught off my feet
and I've been losing my sleep
over promises you couldn't keep
I have been losing my head
I think you're lost in between
two versions of being...

the real
and your evil twin
can't tell which one I fell in love with
you're switching
you're trading
no matter the thick or thin
I thought it was 'til death does us in
I must've been mistaken...

dearest restless
don't you say goodbye
I'm not embellishing
I think you're torturing me
oh dearest restless
don't you dare resign
it would be punishment enough for a lifetime

all you need is love...

why can't you see it?
what are you saying?
so no matter what I do, you still won't sink with the ship?
love can't live without time to get things right...

dearest restless
don't you say goodbye
I'm not embellishing
I think you're torturing me
oh dearest restless
I won't just close my eyes
it would be punishment...
I gave you a lifetime...

my flag was never white.
it would be punishment
enough for a lifetime
