i wrote me a book 
i hid the last page 
i didn't even look 
i think i locked it in a cage 
wrote a novel 
cause everybody likes to read a novel... 

it started with a word, 
and it started pretty well 
about a rare and fragile bird that I couldn't even spell 
on the table 
i think i left it on the table... 

i found the last page in the sky, 
cold and sweet, like an apple 

oh hello, 
will you be mine? 
i haven't felt this alive in a long time 
all the streets are warm today 

i read signs 
i haven't been this in love in a long time 
the sun is up, the sun will stay 


The very last breath of the hero of our tale 
would you only to guess 
did he truly prevail 
in the sequel? 
I guess I'll have to write a sequel... 

my favorite part's when I die 
in your arms like a movie 
it's tragic, but now the story has it's proper end. 

oh hello, 
will you be mine? 
i haven't felt this alive in a long time 
all the streets are warm and grey 

i read the signs 
I haven't been this in love in a long time 
the sun is up the sun will stay 
all for the new day 

will you be mine? 
the days are short and I wrote me my last rhyme 
all the streets are warm today 
I read the signs 
I haven't been in this love in a long time. 

it's been a long time
