The Revelator - Cafe Indiana

Those green painted benches
Will always remind me
Of the walk we took around Notre Dame
Laughed at the lovers
Who couldn't help themselves
From locking lips and holding hands
I didn't know then
How much I was dragging you on
I didn't know then
In your mind you were already gone
And damn those teenagers draped over each other
Who think they've just invented love
I'm cursed to admit I now know better
Still let's let 'em have their fun
Cafe Indiana
Will always remind me of
The night we missed the bateaux mouches
Our last night in Paris
In the worst Tex-Mex diner
Eating stale fries, it was all you could choose
I didn't know then
For weeks you had planned your escape
I didn't know then
Two could share a booth without sharing the space
And damn all the wine that made
Me feel so weightless like
I might not ever come down
Well I'm cursed to admit I now know better
Still let's have another round
If I could speak to myself then
To show myself around the bend
Well what kind of fool pulls himself out of heaven?
The sound of a river
Will always remind me of
The way you looked at me by the Seine
My camera providing
A truce from the fighting
To capture your hair in the wind
I didn't know then
Your smile was just a facade
I didn't know then
My camera was a firing squad
And damn those teenagers draped over each other
Who think they've just invented love
I'm cursed to admit I now know better
Still let's let 'em have their fun
If I could speak to myself then
To show myself around the bend
Well what kind of fool pulls himself out of heaven?
Even if I was just there for a second
