Long handwritten note, deep in your pocket 
Words, how little they mean, when they're a little too late 
I stood right by the tracks, your face in a locket 
Good girls, hopeful they'll be and lonely will wait 

We had a beautiful magic love affairWhat a sad beautiful tragic love affair 

In dreams, I meet you in long conversation 
We both wake in lonely beds, and different cities 
And time is ticking a sweet summer race in you 
And you've got your demons and darling they all look like me 

Cause we had a beautiful magic love affair 
What a sad beautiful tragic love affair 

Distance, tire me, break down, fighting 
Silence, this train runs off its tracks 
Kiss me, try to fix it, would you just try to listen 
Hang up, give up, for the life of us we can't get it back 

A beautiful magic love affair 
What a sad beautiful tragic, beautiful tragic, beautiful 
What we had, a beautiful magic love affair 
What a sad beautiful tragic love affair 
We had a beautiful magic love affair 
What a sad beautiful tragic love affair
