lyrics

The wind exhaled and blew back her hair
A vision frozen in time
Denim and suede, a Ray-Ban charade
Playing movies in the back of her mind

A second-hand Shakespeare I stood in the dark
Throwing roses and choking on rhymes
She laughed through her teeth and grinned in defeat
As her shadow touched shadows with mine

If I could change her mind you know I would
If I could change her mind you know I would

Black lace and silver with flashes of gold
She stared out the window in pain
Lost in my dreams, too stubborn to see
The stress in her delicate frame

If I could change her mind you know I would
If I could change her mind you know I would

But I still hear her Gypsy song
All the reckless and empty promises
But I know that the moment's gone
Oh, I know that the moment's gone

She drifted away as quick as she came
Now in fevers I sweat out the past
I'm drinking too much and I'm thinking too much
Of roses and a Romeo mask
Of roses and a Romeo mask

If I could change her mind you know I would
If I could change her mind you know I would
