Here’s the deal

Here’s the deal
We take the red pill and go back in time
We meet that same dull day of May
Ten years ago, seems like today

Your smile is all there is
Your hair floats in the air
Your looks, your say
The providence of faith

We go to that same café
I ask for black tea, you go for some cake
And we seat in the same old divan
For a while

And though I know everything about you
I listen carefully anyway
We say whatever ought to be said
And I remember all your ways

And though I know everything about you
We play the game once more the same
I touch your skin with such devotion
And memorise every detail

Then I tell my lovers I’ll be gone from now
I tell the muses I am done for now
And cos compassion is my guide this time
I crack the door, let pass some light

But now the future is no longer
What it used to be in the past
There’s no magical red pill
There’s just our bare hands

So here’s the deal:
No more tries
No more lies
No more cries

Dry your eyes
No more cries
That’s the deal
