Lilly by The Consolation Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mirror facing mirror
Staring at the infinite repeats of myself
Final words of winter
Linger on the lawn
Pretending that we're married
We always said we would be when we finally grew up
Memories I buried
Kids I lived among
[Pre-Chorus]
The world runs on money
It's matrons have no love for simple, and golden, and good
And it kills me that only in bitter nostalgia can we still go live in the woods
[Chorus]
The last time I saw Lilly
We were wide-eyed
Wе were parallel
Last timе I saw Lilly
Is the last time I felt like myself
[Verse 2]
Face down in the playground
Staring at the face of someone's miracle son
Hero, villain, victim
You're never only one
You're never only one
I needed a reminder
If only you were there to make me feel like someone
I floated into nothing
Forgot the way it was
Forgot the way it was
[Pre-Chorus]
So how could I leave without leaving behind something crucial, and fragile, and sweet?
'Cause nothing inside of me was ready to lose all my memories of being free
[Chorus]
Oh-ooh
The last time I saw Lilly
We were wide-eyed
We were parallel
Last time I saw Lilly
Was the last time
[Outro]
I know there's a reason
It's hard to believe in
I guess that's my weakness
My vision is blurred
But if I go through photos
And see us together
I have to remember
That's still who I am
Mirror facing mirror
Staring at the infinite repeats of myself
Final words of winter
Linger on the lawn
Pretending that we're married
We always said we would be when we finally grew up
Memories I buried
Kids I lived among
[Pre-Chorus]
The world runs on money
It's matrons have no love for simple, and golden, and good
And it kills me that only in bitter nostalgia can we still go live in the woods
[Chorus]
The last time I saw Lilly
We were wide-eyed
Wе were parallel
Last timе I saw Lilly
Is the last time I felt like myself
[Verse 2]
Face down in the playground
Staring at the face of someone's miracle son
Hero, villain, victim
You're never only one
You're never only one
I needed a reminder
If only you were there to make me feel like someone
I floated into nothing
Forgot the way it was
Forgot the way it was
[Pre-Chorus]
So how could I leave without leaving behind something crucial, and fragile, and sweet?
'Cause nothing inside of me was ready to lose all my memories of being free
[Chorus]
Oh-ooh
The last time I saw Lilly
We were wide-eyed
We were parallel
Last time I saw Lilly
Was the last time
[Outro]
I know there's a reason
It's hard to believe in
I guess that's my weakness
My vision is blurred
But if I go through photos
And see us together
I have to remember
That's still who I am
