lirik lagu oliver richman - the ballad of phil and phyllis

intro

[phil]
you can have the fame, phyllis
i’d give up all the fame
you can have the overbearing stares, the noisy crowds, the holy shadow, and the shame, phyllis
but don’t pretend you want this
don’t be so naïve
i’ll say these words again and again, but by then you’re bound to leave, they always leave

[phyllis]
then i guess that i’m just like the rest

[phil]
why must you leave?

[phyllis]
well we can’t all live forever, i sure was nevеr as blessed

[phil]
nothing’s supposed to livе forever, phyllis
nothing’s supposed to last that long
the burrows we made will eventually fade
and i’ll be left to sing the same old song
but, if nothing’s supposed to live forever, phyllis
why am i the one who’s cursed to see
the sprout begin to sp~wn
’til the things i know are gone
’til everyone moves on but
hold me, phyllis
hold me like an apricot
hold me like the world is not about to wave goodbye
[phil, phyllis, & both]
you watched my fur turn gray
i don’t like goodbyes
how many times have you had to say
please don’t say goodbye

[instrumental]

[phyllis]
nothing’s supposed to live forever
nothing’s supposed to last that long
that’s what they say, phil
that all goes away, phil
but something deep inside me knows they’re wrong
if nothing’s supposed to live forever
i’ll give you a part of me, i guarantee you’ll find
in the winters and the springs
in the song your shadow sings
forever is the things i leave behind

[phil]
behind?

[phyllis, phil, & both]
you’ll see me in their smile
and their claws will make you take pause
and maybe the burrows we made will come back to your mind (will eventually fade)
back when we weren’t afraid (if i can persuade) the sun
would set and let us leave our last duet left (to let us hide, let us start over, before you leave me) behind
are the ones who go who are never truly gone
when you’re holding onto who you leave behind
who you leave (hold me, phyllis) behind (why can’t you stay forever?)
i can see forever just by looking at (dry) your eyes
that’s that thing with love, it multiplies and multiplies, and
[phyllis, phil, & both]
nothing’s supposed to live forever
(nothing’s supposed to live forever, phyllis)
but the tighter you hold me (the deeper you look in my eyes) the more that can’t be true
and the sprout (in the winters and the springs) begins to sp~wn
and the things (in the song your shadow sings, ’til) i know are gone
’til everyone moves on but us two
cause nothing’s supposed to live forever (nothing’s supposed to live forever)
nothing’s supposed to (but how can i) live forever
without you
