Lyrics

You lit your silver spoon on fire

You ignited your privileged position and wealth, causing disruption or chaos.

The night you gave way to desire

On the night when you allowed yourself to pursue your strong urges or impulses.

And I'm trying to give you everything you want

And I'm trying to be everything you won't

The morning is mourning the days of our old love

And the clouds are crying over days that are all gone

The atmosphere seems to reflect sorrow over irretrievable moments.

And your patience is thinning and I'm looking for a smile

September, remembrance of all that we have lost

But I'm trying forgiveness for the times that you took off

And I'm looking for newness in the way you say my name
