Let's Get out of the Romance - Mount Eerie

So I managed to make myself cold

Just like I wanted to

So I managed to be buried in snow

I thought that wearing white

Would make me good

Bring out my eyes

I thought virtue could be mine

We already know that there’s no rock

To buy the things we need to live

So we must open our mouths

And close our eyes, and tilt back our heads

And lift up our arms

Traveling north to winter nights

Was how I planned on getting pure

And frozen white, soft and snakey northern lights

I stood, and yes, I managed

To wash my face there in the snow

Clean the crud from my eyes

And gasp and see dawn

The first rays of light coming over the hill

Clearly belted out.

Let’s get out of the romance

Let’s get out of the romance

But still I had my hopes

Of how picturesque I would be

Watching the sunrise, so the sun surprised

It was on the other side.

I gasped

I turned and re-opened my eyes

And felt size rise

To clear and towering words

I sang along…

Let’s get out of the romance

The sweetness in the world looks so gross in that disguise

Let’s get out of the romance

The sweetness in the world looks so gross in that disguise

Let’s get out of the romance

There’s only one way

Let’s get out of the romance

Say «Goodbye» and «No»

Let’s get out of the romance
