Requiem For O.m.m. Lyrics

Of Montreal Requiem For O.m.m.

[Requiem for O.M.M.2 by Of Montreal]

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.
