I’ll write a song called Nevermore,
And travel to a distant shore.
I’ll carve it into stone by runes,
Under a bone-white winter’s moon.
And when my body meets the coal,
You may yet find my treasured soul.
I’ll write a song called Nevermore,
And travel to a distant shore.
I’ll carve it into stone by runes,
Under a bone-white winter’s moon.
And when my body meets the coal,
You may yet find my treasured soul.
Inside of us, there lies a flame—
A fire they will try to tame
Burn your fear—all reservoirs
And, in time, you’ll light the stars
Could’ve sworn there was something
In the love we made
Could’ve sworn I touched a piece of you
Your body betrayed
But baby just won’t let me in
Sure, it’s a shame, sure is a sin
He’s been playing to lose, I’ve been betting to win
Baby just won’t let me in
And timing’s just a thing folks blame
When they are afraid
Now it’s time to make a call
Call a spade a spade
So far as the future goes,
Feelings always fade
Never held ’em up my sleeve
But he managed to evade
Baby just won’t let me in
Sure, it’s a shame, sure is a sin
He’s been playing to lose, I’ve been betting to win
Baby just won’t let me in
Love, it’s what burns up the stars
It’s what goes down in flames
Baby, least I took the chance
Least I played the game
