A love song / a non love song

Back, back
It's time to go back to you know where
But was it fun
In the sun where you were

Stop, no
No you're not allowed to think that
Unwire the good
Don't imagine what could have been
What a nice little holiday
It's a memory now

You fool
How dare you trust fate! She's not that kind
You stepped off the edge
But you didn't check where you'd fall
And now look at what you've done
Just a memory now

Shut it down
Get it into your brain
This will all just end in flames
Where's that self control that you preach?
And now look at what we've done
Just a memory now

At least I avoided cliche
Holding nobody's hand along the Champs-Élysées
Taking my time
Breaking bread, sipping wine
Meant for two

It's a magical 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?
