Requiem for O.M.M.2

Of Montreal · The Sunlandic Twins [2005]

When I met you I was just a kid,

hadn't built up my defenses,

so I gave my heart completely,

vaseline over the lenses,

memories don't go away,

I remember every day.



I never ever stop wondering,

Wondering if you still think of us,

I don't need a photograph,

'cause you've never left my mind,

No, you've never left my mind.



I remember feeling like a ship,

whose captain was too drunk to stear,

and you watched as I was sinking,

waving sadly from the pier.



It's such a burden to carry 'round,

the vestiges of dead dreams,

and I don't want to make a wake out of my life,

I just had to let you go.
