The Revisionist


Kissed your lips on that summer night
Wiped the tears back from your eyes
Instead of leaving, you stayed behind
Yeah you stayed behind with me

You said you loved me, I said it too
We stayed awake the whole night through
Blaming fallacy for wasted youth
Yeah you found yourself in me
You found yourself in me

Hand in hand we walked across
Made up for time that we had lost
Accosted what had come before
We couldn't ask for any more

Years rolled by with some waves of strength
No feelings kept or words constrained
What once was lost was now regained
You stayed happily with me

Now ghosts don't haunt you fast asleep
And your demons won't possess these dreams
But nothing here is what it seems
It's what it couldn't be
What it couldn't be

Hand in hand we walked across
Made up for time that we had lost
Accosted what had come before
We couldn't ask for any more
We couldn't ask for any more

Revise the past, our history
Until the thought appeases me
What's in my head, you'll never see
I'm the revisionist, I'm the revisionist
