Nearly Witches (Ever Since We Met)

Kids, you have to remember I’m up here conducting you for a reason, okay?
Watch me, watch my fingers
Here we go, ready?
Watch me

Dès le premier jour, ton parfum enivre, mon amour
Et dans ces instants, j’aimerais être comme toi par moment
Mais depuis ce jour, je n’ai qu’un seul et unique regret

My wingtips waltz across naive wood floors
They creak innocently down the stairs
Drag melody
My percussive feet serve cobweb headaches
As a matching set of marching clocks
The slumbering apparitions that they’ve come to wake up

Here I am, composing a burlesque
Out of where they rest their necks
Sunken in their splintered cradles
And ramshackle heads
They asked for it
As a girl

You have set your heart on haunting me forever from the start
It’s never silent

Ever since we met, I only shoot up with your perfume
It’s the only thing that makes me feel as good as you do
Ever since we met, I’ve got just one regret to live through
And that one regret is you

How does a heart look if no one has noticed its presence?
And where does it go?
Trembling hands play my heart like a drum
But the beat’s gotten lost in the show

You have set your heart on haunting me forever from the start
It’s never silent

Ever since we met, I only shoot up with your perfume
It’s the only thing that makes me feel as good as you do
Ever since we met, I’ve got just one regret to live through
And I regret never letting you know

Ever since we met, I only shoot up with your perfume
It’s the only thing that makes me feel as good as you do
Ever since we met, I’ve got just one regret to live through
And that one regret is you

Mona Lisa, pleased to please ya
(And that one regret is you)
Mona Lisa, pleased to please ya
(And that one regret is you)
Mona Lisa, pleased to please ya
(I’ve got just one)
