At the Altar
Paper Aeroplanes

You used to pain pictures, and color your hair

Remember the stories we'd share

We used to sing badly, at the piano but lately time isn't there.


Cuz we left our beautiful lives at the altar

Lost our keys, and our looks, and our friends.

And made those vows with our toes in the waterfall

Please give my love to the morgue.


The further we travel, the less that we saw.

We'd anchored our feet to the floor.

The more that you say it, rolls off the tongue

but it just doesn't chime anymore


Cuz we left our beautiful lives at the altar


Lost our keys, and our looks, and our friends.

And made those vows with our toes in the waterfall.

Please give my love to the morgue.


Maybe our hearts were too young,

maybe they're chasing impatient someone left

maybe our hearts were too numb to have recognized it


Cuz we left our beautiful lives at the altar

Lost our keys, and our looks, and our friends.

And made those vows with our toes in the waterfall.

Please give my love to the morgue.
