You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first,
I loved you first.
Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
I have to go,
I have to go.
Your hair was long when we first met.
Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
He ate a slice of Wonderbread
And went right back to bed.
And history books forgot about us
And the Bible didn't mention us
The Bible didn't mention us
Not even once.
You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first,
I loved you first.
Beneath the stars came falling on our heads
But they're just old light
They're just old light.
Your hair was long when we first met.
Samson came to my bed
Told me that my hair was red
Told me I was beautiful and came into my bed.
I cut his hair myself one night
A pair of dull scissors and the yellow light
He told me that I'd done all right
And kissed me until the morning light, the morning light
And he kissed me until the morning light.
Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
He ate a slice of Wonderbread
And went right back to bed.
We couldn't break the columns down
No, we couldn't destroy a single one
And the history books forgot about us
And the Bible didn't mention us
Not even once.
You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first.

HAHA, wonderbread.
This song is suddenly very important to me. At first I thought she's singing about the whole 'Samson and Delilah' story, but after a while betrayal just doesn't fit. In fact, it sounds to me that the betrayal never happened and she's like..not a backstabbing bitch. They were really in love so there was no story in the Bible. The could've been, I suppose.
Ngeh, I don't know.
I've had to many chocolates. I am biologically biased.
