lyrics

They told me that I shouldn't go looking for love
But one of these days I’ll have to grow up
And if I have to start looking
I might as well start with you

I'll put my best foot forward, keep my head in the clouds
When you're a thousand miles away, I've gotta keep looking up
My fingers paint the pictures of a man
Who wasn't lonely anymore

How do you like me now
Where do we go from here?
Twenty years of our lives, caught up in our own love story
How do you like me now
Is this as good as it seems
When the sun goes down in your part of town, do you fall asleep to dream?

Ooh, ooh

Down the road from Barclay Park
Past St. Catherine and St. Paul
The city holds the secrets
The way I'll do to you

And some nights are long enough
Where we both chit chat til the sun comes up
I hear birds outside of your window
As I'm teaching you guitar

And one night when the time is right
One of us'll buy a ticket and we'll board our flight
On a one-way never look back again trip
Who knew that one night would turn out like this

You know I never liked my name, but I shiver when you say it
The boys in the brigade won't understand
And it's a simple thing, my dear, love's so often overstated
So let love speak the words my distance can't

It's too bright
I can’t sleep
Illuminate, Illuminate
Luminous, luminous

The Siege Perilous Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Formed in 2008, the Siege Perilous is a melodic Wisconsin alternative rock outfit that delivers an engaging live show that draws from three albums worth of original arena-style anthems in the vein of the Goo Goo Dolls, Jimmy Eat World, and Jack's Mannequin.

"A sound similar to some of the classic alternative albums of the 90's, with a updated influence of today's indie superstars." ... more
