A Faint Illusion by Tides of Man Lyrics

[Verse]
I know you know
Despite your reservations
Out of everything in this world
I choose you
It goes to show
Despite our conversations
Back when you were just a little girl
We had no clue
Just what we were getting ourselves into
We were merely trying something new

[Chorus]
Dissolve myself in you
Cause I'm not gonna
Not gonna give you up
No I'm not gonna
Not gonna give you up
Cancel myself to feel you
Cause I'm not gonna
Not gonna give you up
No I'm not gonna
Not gonna give you up
[Verse]
I know you know
Despite the implications
We were out of character
I always knew
Just what we were getting ourselves into
We were merely trying something new

[Chorus]
Dissolve myself in you
Cause I'm not gonna
Not gonna give you up
No I'm not gonna
Not gonna give you up
Cancel myself to feel you
Cause I'm not gonna
Not gonna give you up
No I'm not gonna
Not gonna give you up

[Post-Chorus]
When we used to lay ourselves out
On the front lawn of their ivory towers
We would show our bodies to the world
Then we would go home
And work on a castle of our own
[Bridge]
You were impatient
I was a fallback
A dirty mistake
You never called back
You were salvation
I never told you

You were impatient
I was a fallback
A dirty mistake
You never called back
You were salvation
I never told you I always had the notion
I would fall in love with you
You were a call girl
I was a gentleman
A faint illusion of your simple plan
I was salvation
You never told me you always had the notion
That you knew what we would be
You were impatient
I was a fallback
A dirty mistake
You never called back
You were salvation
I never told you I always had the notion
I would fall in love with you
You were a call girl
I was a gentleman
A faint illusion of your simple plan
I was salvation
You never told me you always had the notion
That you knew what we would be
[Outro]
I know you know, despite your reservations
Out of everything in this world, I choose you
