Roisin Murphy

Now the time has elapsed, it inevitably has come to pass
That I write for you at last, a song, a rhyme
Oh, to tell you the truth of it I'm a little confused myself
Is it through memory's rose-tinted glass, I have come to ask
Or is it a love that was meant to last through time itself
Proving us wrong all along
Shouldn't we be holding on
It's a silly thing really that you shouldn't believe in
Nothing too complicated, endlessly formulated
Foolish romantic ideals of love
Could there be such a thing
How could there be such a thing as beautifully flawed
We'll make mistakes and then life is the art of learning to live with it through time
But you knew it all along
You who are wiser than I
See it coming, see it coming, see it coming every time
How did you predict the end of the world
When you can't see beyond the end of your nose
Would you look at the life I chose
Baby it's you I need to tell it to, maybe no other will ever do through time
Shouldn't we be holding on
Shouldn't we be holding on
Maybe no other will ever do
Maybe no other will ever do
Shouldn't we be holding on
Maybe no other will ever do
Maybe no other will ever do
Shouldn't we be holding on
Maybe no other will ever do
Maybe no other will ever do
Shouldn't we be holding on
Maybe no other will ever do
Maybe no other will ever do
Proving us wrong all along
Ideals of love
Foolish romantic ideals of love
Could there be such a thing
How could there be such a thing
Beautifully flawed ideals of love
