The love lives in the fire now

I wrote something on paper, i wish nobody knew.
I wrote something on paper, about how i loved you.
But i didn't want anyone to see the things that i drew.
So i shredded it, and baby, it felt like i was shredding you.

I drew a picture of us.
it was my dreams written down
we were so happy.
but i hoped nobody could see it.
the secret dream. the secret drawing,
so i threw it in the fire, and baby, it felt like i was burning you.

I wrote our initials, and a heart on the sand
with the beautiful waves of the great lakes at hand
it was so romantic there the sun, the sand, the sea.
it was so nice to see a souvenir of you and me
but i wanted no one else to see the sacred souvenir
so i let the sea take it up in its waves
and wipe the sand clear.
