retrograde

Meet me at our corner after dark I swear this city's never seen a light as bright as ours It's taking every fiber of our beings to fend it off But how long can this go on? Rode the early thrills of secrecy When you're with your friends I'm just a passing stranger on the street These pent-up feelings brim inside Until I'm shoulder-deep And calling for a lifeboat [Chorus] Wish I didn't know this pain (oh-oh) Lovers caught in retrograde (oh-oh) The more we go against the grain The more it hurts All in retrograde Love in retrograde [Verse 2] Movie night I'll snеak in through the back (I'll tiptoe quietly) I know thе drill We spare your mom and dad the heart attack (Don't want to make a scene) Their pride and joy You're framed in every corner of this flat And I'd never fit the picture Yeah we're talking about our day in the sun Like it's imminent Though I suspect it'll never come Keeping our hopes That this isn't a false start Is it time to face the facts? [Chorus] Wish I didn't know this pain (oh-oh) Lovers caught in retrograde (oh-oh) The more we go against the grain The more it hurts All in retrograde Love in retrograde [Outro] I promise I won't forget you When I'm leaving this all behind Can you promise you won't forget me When you find yourself on the outside?
