lyrics

One simple morning turning into a day of magic
Freezing frames and unwantedly so tragic
A mysterious smile was carving through the looking glass
I remember the cool white wine and you dancing on their trash

They couldn’t frame you so where are you now
They couldn’t tame you so where are you now
I said: where are you now for me

The fading photo of my lovely wedding dress
A two year wedding design: to be a test
The restless counter fact still howling at the door
The eyes of Laura Mars can see what’s there no more

They couldn’t frame you so where are you now
They couldn’t tame you so where are you now
I said: where are you now for me

They couldn’t frame you so where are you now
They couldn’t tame you so where are you now
I said: where are you now for me
