A Faint Illusion Songtext
von Tides of Man

I know you know, despite your reservations
Out of everything in this world, I choose you
It goes to show, despite our conversations
Back when you were just a little girl, we had no clue
Just what we were getting ourselves into
We were merely trying something new

Dissolve myself in you
′Cause I'm not gonna, not gonna give you up
No I′m not gonna, not gonna give you up

Cancel myself to feel you
'Cause I'm not gonna, not gonna give you up
No I′m not gonna, not gonna give you up

I know you know, despite the implications
We were out of character, I always knew
Just what we were getting ourselves into
We were merely trying something new

Dissolve myself in you
′Cause I'm not gonna, not gonna give you up
No I′m not gonna, not gonna give you up


Cancel myself to feel you
'Cause I′m not gonna, not gonna give you up
No I'm not gonna, not gonna give you up

When we used to lay ourselves out
On the front lawn of their ivory towers
We would show our bodies to world
Then we would go home
And work on a castle of our own

You were impatient, I was a fallback
A dirty mistake, you never called back
You were salvation, I never told you

You were impatient, I was a fallback
A dirty mistake, you never called back
You were salvation, I never told you
I always had the notion I would fall in love with you

You were a call girl, I was a gentleman
A faint illusion of your simple plan
I was salvation, you never told me
You always had the notion that you knew what we would be


You were impatient, I was a fallback
A dirty mistake, you never called back
You were salvation, I never told you
I always had the notion I would fall in love with you

You were a call girl, I was a gentleman
A faint illusion of your simple plan
I was salvation, you never told me
You always had the notion that you knew what we would be

I know you know, despite your reservations
Out of everything in this world, I choose you
