Cellophane
Creeper Lagoon Lyrics

Some days you feel grand
There are days when you feel really good

and there's games to play
When you're feeling good, there are activities to enjoy

enter a flame you cannot explain
You meet someone who has a strong, mysterious attraction

she is divine you say
You think this person is amazing

i am grand and you are mine
You feel confident and think this person belongs to you

will you dine today?
You invite this person to eat with you

and she caught my heart w/ a gentle stare
This person has won your affection with a kind glance

soothing me in every way
This person makes you feel calm and happy

while she's slowly slipping away
However, this person is beginning to distance herself from you

calm down it's okay
You tell yourself to relax because it's not a big deal

she's too fine for you
You realize that this person may be out of your league

go away she's got things to do
You try to convince yourself to move on because she has other priorities

and she broke my heart w/ a gentle stare
You feel heartbroken even though this person didn't do anything overtly hurtful

losing her faster than a sound
You feel like you're losing her quickly and don't know how to stop it

cause she knows no one lives in the ground
You interpret her distance as her not wanting to commit to someone who has a limited lifespan

ooh don't you walk away
You beg her not to leave

you're amazing and i'd be
You remind her that you think she's incredible

ooh if you didn't stay
You express fear of what will happen if she leaves

can you blame me i'm just a fool from another day
You acknowledge that you may seem naive and outdated in your affections

and i'm lonely so won't you be brave
You admit to feeling lonely and ask her to take a risk on a relationship

feeling stoned in a funny way
You feel euphoric, almost like you're under the influence of drugs

i guess it's time to go
However, you realize that it's time to move on

heading north where the days are cold
You decide to go somewhere unfamiliar and uncomfortable to try and get over this heartbreak

and the time is slow
You want to go somewhere where time can pass slowly and you can think

i would live alone in my house of stone
You imagine living somewhere isolated and protected from others

staring out at the sea
You picture yourself looking out at the ocean, feeling contemplative

wondering what is wrong w/ me
You question yourself, wondering why you can't seem to make a relationship work

lights out and i cannot sleep
You find yourself unable to sleep at night

i guess it rained today
You mention the weather as a way of noting how you're feeling

a blue rose i cannot keep
You've lost something that you could never really possess in the first place

has found a way
This thing you've lost has moved on without you

to make me change all the things i wear
Losing something meaningful has caused you to reassess yourself and your life

fading slowly w/ time
Your memories of this person are beginning to fade as time goes on

is the thought that someday she would be mine
Despite everything, you still cling to the possibility that this person might come back to you

ooh don't you walk away
You make one last plea for this person to stay

you're amazing and i'd be blue if you didn't stay
You tell this person that they're incredible and that you'll be sad if they leave

can you blame me i'm just a fool from another day
You reiterate your own naivete and old-fashioned sensibilities

and i'm lonely so won't you be brave
You repeat your plea for this person to take a chance on a relationship with you
