Catching up on promises, made in the heat of love
Holding on to fantasies, dreamed in the distant past
Could have done it yesterday, should have found the time
Future holds its promises, angels heard me sigh
Long lost friend, I’ve been searching
Thought I heard your laughter in the dark
Long lost friend I’ve been dreaming
Come and find me hiding in the dark
Working hard to regulate, stuff I can hardly name
There’s no way to delegate, all this pain inside
Lost beneath a sea of change, judge the right and wrong
I could find an argument, I could sing a song
Long lost friend, I’ve been searching
Thought I heard your laughter in the dark
Long lost friend I’ve been dreaming
Come and find me hiding in the dark
Catching up on promises, made in the heat of love
Holding on to fantasies, dreamed in the distant past
Long lost friend, I’ve been searching
Thought I heard your laughter in the dark
Long lost friend I’ve been dreaming
Come and find me hiding in the dark
Long lost friend, I’ve been searching
Thought I heard your laughter in the dark
Long lost friend I’ve been dreaming
Come and find me hiding in the dark

She stole the memory of an ancient wound
She claimed as her own
Picture the damage of a raging typhoon
Leaving me standing all alone
She loves
The idea of love
She loves
The idea of love
While he was gone I played his guitar
Stole his wife and drove his car
Karma’s costs of just stolen one night
Blew up our lives, like dynamite
She loves
The idea of love
She loves
The idea of love
If pleasure is the ultimate prize
Drown the pain you hide inside
Some will laugh but most will cry
As the torture intensifies
She loves
The idea of love
She loves
The idea of love
