IMITATION OF A KISS
This is an imitation of a kiss
An imitation's all it is and when I kiss you it may look like a kiss
Call it a kiss this imitation of love
It's an imitation of romance
All hollow gestures and demands
You get agressive
So tired of routines
You go to extremes
This imitation of romance
There's a place I used to go
It's closed down long ago
I'd lie down there in your darkness watching rivers flow
Now it's an imitation of love
No one's fooling no one
And though you're here now I'm so far away
Let's call it a day
This imitation of a kiss
When it looks like all is lost here something reappears
All my reasons leave the room now, leaving you still here
This is an imitation of goodbye
I say it's over all the time, yet I'm still with you
Don't know why it is I can't resist this imitation of a kiss |
