Strange Attraction
The Cure - Strange Attraction
I've listened to this song on repeat the whole night.
Listen to it if you get the chance!
You'll definitely like it if you like the Cure.
It started with a dedication
"Lost in admiration
Happy birthday I'm forever yours
-Blossom"
Faded red inside a tiny book of butterflies
I smiled surprised at how when flickered through
The wings flew by spelled out my name...
Six months went by, the summer lost
Obessively the letters dropped into my life
The same soft blood smooth flowing hand
"Please try to understand
I have to see you
Have to feel you
Tell you all the ways I need you
Yours forever in love..."
Strange attraction spreads its wings
It varies but the smallest things
You never know how anything will change
Strange attraction spreads its wings
And alters but the smallest things
You never know how anything will fade
The year grew old incessantly
She wrote to me
She'd started smoking poetry
I laughed in recognition of a favourite phrase
She'd pulled me in...
I answered her
A christmas card in sepia
Arranging when and where
And how the two of us should meet...
Her opening so well prepared
A nervous smile
I couldn't take my eyes from her
She whispered
"Can I use some of your lipstick?"
It was perfect so believable
I couldn't help but feel that it was real
And kissing crimson fell into her waiting arms...
Strange attraction spreads its wings
It varies but the smallest things
You never know how anything will change
Strange attraction spreads its wings
And alters but the smallest things
You never know how anything will fade...
So, alone into the cold new year
Without another word from her
I wrote to ask if we could maybe meet again before the spring
But weeks went by with no reply
Until once more my birthday came
And with it my surprise
But this time nothing was the same...
"I'm sorry,
Blame infatuation,
Blame imagination,
I was sure you'd be the one but I was wrong
It seems reality destroys our dreams
I won't forget you
-Blossom"
Faded red inside a tiny book of old goodbyes...
Strange attraction spreads its wings
It varies but the smallest things
You never know how anything will change
Strange attraction spreads its wings
And alters but the smallest things
And you never know..
