tourist: a love song from paris

Paint

At least I avoided cliché
Holding nobody's hand
Along the Champs-Ã?lysées
Taking my time
Breaking bread, sipping wine
Meant for two

It's a beautiful city for saps
But turn out the lights
We're too clever for that
And I know, I know we're not in love
But we'd fool this old town
With the view of us
Thoughts from the tourist
Alone

We could fall for the streets of Paris
But the Eiffel's a joke
And the punchline is me
And you know, you know it's not funny
But we'd laugh 'till it was
Just the two of us
Thoughts from the tourist
Alone

And I know, I know that we tried
To survive on a lie we couldn't endure
So what's just one more
Thought from the tourist
Imagining the two of us
Alone?
