"portraiture" lyrics

Someone tell me why
Why I always choose
Something out of view
Someone just like you

We should not have danced
And we should not have kissed
But I could never walk away
From portraiture like this

But you love to dance
What's love without a kiss?
We painted skies of blue and white
So how could I
Walk away from this?

I really like the way you talk
Quiver in your lip, you're lost in thought
You didn't have to say my name that way
Like it's something that you've always wanted to say

All of your friends say you're bad for me
But I really only ever read tragedies
Let me drink poison from your cup
Fall on my sword, I won't get up

We should not have danced
And we should not have kissed
But I could never walk away
From portraiture like this

But you love to dance
What's love without a kiss?
We painted skies of blue and white
So how could I
Walk away from this?

A man across the bar dressed up in black
Give me a little look and I'll look back
I'm really glad you grabbed my hand
I've been waiting all night to get up and dance

How do you know my favorite song?
This must be the part in all those classic films
I've heard about so much

Someone tell me why
Why I always choose
Something out of view
Someone just like you

We should not have danced
And we should not have kissed
But I could never walk away
From portraiture like this

But you love to dance
What's love without a kiss?
We painted skies of blue and white
So how could I
Walk away from this?
