Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Could you tell the enchantment I said goodbye?
I met a girl called disillusionment
[Verse 2]
Could you tell her I made the headlines?
This boy draw wings on everything
Could you tell her to check the headlines?
This boy burns angels in the river
[Verse 3]
You know I dreamed about you for twenty-nine years before
I saw you
You know I dreamed about you, I missed you for twenty-nine years
Birds that fly out of order underneath the sky
I run up to the rainbow, girl
Just to pass it by
[Verse 4]
I'll never have a change of heart
I swore I'll never sing
I have no heart, this on is gone
And now I wear the wings
[Verse 5]
You know I dreamed about you for 29 years before
I saw you
You know I dreamed about you, I missed you for 29 years
You know I dreamed about you for 29 years before
I saw you
You know I dreamed about you for 29 years before I saw you
