Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Long handwritten notes, deep in your pocket

Words, how little they mean when you're a little too late

I stood right by the tracks, your face in a locket

Good girls, hopeful they'll be and long they will wait

[Verse 2]

We had

A beautiful, magic love there

What a sad

Beautiful, tragic love affair

[Verse 3]

In dreams, I meet you in warm conversation

And we both wake in lonely beds and different cities

And time is taking its sweet time erasing you

And you've got your demons and, darling

They all look like me

[Verse 4]

'Cause we had

A beautiful, magic love there

What a sad

Beautiful, tragic love affair

[Verse 5]

Distance, timing, breakdown, fighting

Silence, the train runs off its tracks

Kiss me, try to fix it

Could you just try to listen?

Hang up, give up and for the life of us

We can't get back

[Verse 6]

A beautiful, magic love there

What a sad

Beautiful, tragic, beautiful, tragic

Beautiful

[Verse 7]

What we had

A beautiful, magic love there

What a sad

Beautiful, tragic love affair

[Verse 8]

We had

A beautiful, magic love there

What a sad

Beautiful, tragic love affair
