While dodging badly drawn boys living in cracks of sidewalks
I met a beautiful man on the corner of chance and circumstance
When running sideways from past collisions with disdained love
Fate nearly tripped up over him but this time luck was nearby
'Cause he had a blanket full of Saturdays to soften my fall
Now my future's looking brighter than a shiny new penny
So I crossed my heart and hoped to die on Cupid's fate
That if he turned his back on my final bout with love
I'd steal his bow and arrow take matters into my own hands
Why does the sun turn its back on the disenchanted?
Why do flowers always fade at the end of the day?
Why does the moon fall silent after saying goodnight?
Why does love come to an end at the break of dawn?
Even though I promised myself I'd touch the sky
Before I unzipped my heart before another man
My mind got stuck inside an emotional turn pool
'Cause he offered me the sun, the moon and the stars
Telling me I didn't have anything but regrets to lose
While wandering amorously through poppy fields of desire
So I asked him if I love you like a praying Christian
Could you in turn love me like a dancing heathen
And we'll both be left standin' wide eyed barely breathin'
Why does the sun turn its back on the disenchanted?
Why do flowers always fade at the end of the day?
Why does the moon fall silent after saying goodnight?
Why does love come to an end at the break of dawn?
Later I wondered aloud to him more than myself
Just enough so he could hear my insecurities
Could he really love me as a wandering Pagan
It's not like I didn't believe in a supplicant God
Or that Jesus wandered the naked earth barefoot
Hell I could even swallow His immaculate birth
And since the devil stole all of my truths
Leaving me alone with lies and a batch of whys
I knew it was finally time to catch a new moon
Why does the sun turn its back on the disenchanted?
Why do flowers always fade at the end of the day?
Why does the moon fall silent after saying goodnight?
Why does love come to an end at the break of dawn?
In bed lying next to him my hands trembled over his heart
I knew this time it felt too right for this love to be wrong
As night gently lulled us to sleep with its song of silence
Would I wake and find all this was only an aching dream
Or was love finally on my side instead of riding against its tide
One thing for sure I was gonna hold on tight with a tiger's might
'Cause in the face of him I could be called consequence
In the face of truth this would be called love
In the face of us not even lies are inconsequential
Why does the sun turn its back on the disenchanted?
Why do flowers always fade at the end of the day?
Why does the moon fall silent after saying goodnight?
Why does love come to an end at the break of dawn?
