etymology ~m's song~

[in: i]
turn around again
the troubles that befall you
will soon be gone

[out:i]
and when you see me again
you may have trouble
recognizing what you see
in me, for instance

[in: ii]
turn around again
the troubles that so plagued you
carry on in me

[out:ii]
and when we meet again
we may have time to discuss
what's been going on
with you, for instance

[chorus]
when memories are calling
louder than they're sounding
you want to touch the sky
but sometimes when you're falling
faster than you're flying
you have to wonder why

[in: iii]
take a hit again
that sweet indulgent flavor
uplifts you with me

[out: iii]
and when you touch me again
you may feel a slight
electrical activity
for instance

[in: iv]
maybe one more kiss
can't hurt us now that we
have settled it

[out: iv]
and when you close your eyes again
you may feel as if
you're flying toward a distant
star, for instance

[chorus]
when memories are calling
louder than they're sounding
you want to touch the sky
but sometimes when you're falling
faster than you're flying
you have to wonder why

[fade]
i know that we were meant to be
but somehow we burned
the dictionary page we were defined on

meaningless, meaningless
let's dance one more time?
