Jack Savoretti - The Proposal

Living in your absence,
I see memories when I cry,
I hear songs in the key of silence,,
I'm not ready yet to die.

Every breath I laugh out loud,
Like a poet with no rhyme,
It means nothing to me now,
It'll mean everything in time.

Oh, this crazy superstition,
You'll find love just you wait your turn,
I ain't got no time for intuition,
Let's build this bridge together,
Watch it burn.

Looking back at my sweet life,
In an empty dirty glass,
I can see the men in white,
Telling tales about the past.

Such a dangerous game to play,
Only way to be,
Ask me nicely I might stay,
Will you run away with me?

Oh, this crazy superstition,
You'll find love just you wait your turn,
I ain't got no time for intuition,
Let's build this bridge together
Watch it burn.

Living in your absence,
I see memories of when I cried,
I hear songs in the key of silence,
I'm not ready yet to die.

Oh, this crazy superstition,
You'll find love just you wait your turn,
I ain't got no time for intuition,
Let's build this bridge together,
Watch it burn,
Let's build this bridge together,
Watch it burn,
Let's build this bridge together,
Watch it burn.
