The Fall of Rome Lyrics

[00:17.34] Whatever happened to the fall of Rome?
[00:20.08] What a strange thing to ask
[00:21.74] When I was taking you home
[00:23.38] As we walked alone through the parking lot
[00:27.04] I said, "I don't have much"
[00:28.74] You said, "I like what you've got"
[00:30.69] And I'd be lying if I said I didn't picture you then
[00:33.80] In your wedding dress
[00:37.65] And the days I hoped we'd some day spend
[00:40.94] In our Sunday best
[00:44.41] We were light as a flame, both batshit insane
[00:51.43] We were lost, but we were just the same
[00:59.46] Whatever happened to the fall of Rome?
[01:02.15] You were a mystery to me, but the place felt like home
[01:05.75] And there are no rules when you're falling in love
[01:09.20] You just take what you get, and you hope it's enough
[01:12.76] And I'd be lying if I said I didn't picture you then
[01:15.90] In your wedding dress
[01:19.79] And the days I hoped we'd some day spend
[01:23.06] In our Sunday best
[01:26.58] We were wrong from the start with our broken arms
[01:33.27] You played your role, and I played my part
[01:40.55]
[01:46.82] And the road was so long
[01:50.62] I was never as strong
[01:54.67] As the love that you gave to me
[02:00.96] And it all took its toll
[02:04.34] You become so cold
[02:08.56] You forget what you were born to be
[02:12.87]
[02:20.01] Whatever happened to the fall of Rome?
[02:22.66] Those people all turned to ashes and stone
[02:26.38] It's a trick of the mind when you think it won't end
[02:29.66] It's a contest with time that time always wins
[02:32.95] I saw a picture of you the other day
[02:36.64] In your wedding dress
[02:40.54] And I wondered why I'd walked away
[02:43.80] Like I had with the rest
[02:47.48] You were the only thing
[02:51.34] That was worth saving
[02:54.59] And I swear I did my best
[02:59.17]
[03:05.23] And sometimes at night, I dream of you now
[03:08.78] In your wedding dress
[03:12.31] And I hope it doesn't seem somehow
[03:15.56] Like I gave you less
[03:19.05] I have nothing to show
[03:22.96] From these years on the road
[03:26.72] But these songs that I wrote for you
[03:32.05]
