You were a famous foreign novel In a language I couldn't read Still I couldn't look away from the symbols on your pages Cuz in you I saw pieces of me I took you home, a first edition Leather-bound and golden leaved As I skimmed you every night, in your margins I would write The tale I thought your letters could weave A sweet and tragic romance Lovers separated by the sea Who face the ocean's anger To prove their love was always meant to be As I sank into your pages Floating on each enigmatic line Those two lovers in my head, braved the ocean dread To finally meet each other in the night Yet when they came together Their hearts could find no comfort in that place The truth of each lover Was nothing like the dreams that they had chased And when I found a good translation My chance to know the truth within your leaves Just imagine my surprise, to open you and find And annotated history of the Holy Roman Empire Are you kidding me? I built an archetype around you A fable from the very start An image without truth, just my idea of you An effigy to cradle my heart I took you home I should have known
