    Ari has a bittersweet vocal style that is at once enigmatic and revealing... heartbreaking and astonishing." Whisperin and Hollerin. U.K.

about

"We were once intoxicating could hardly catch our breath."

lyrics

How is it the sun can shine when the rain comes pouring down?
8 vivid colors fall in line
I wonder if you still care as they cascade from the sky
Does Sleeping Beauty still catch your eye?

Now you're standing on the side of the road
afraid you might get wet
Did you decide to play it safe?

You once let me in, you once let me near you
You think that I can't, but I really can hear you
So won't you talk to me while I've got all the time in the world?

Dancing in plain view
seems to do nothing for you
even if I were your dream come true

What were your reasons for
starting up the next world war?
Your bullets never pacified

You once let me in
You once let me near you
You think that I can't
but I really can hear you
So won't you talk to me
while I've got all the time in the world

We were once intoxicating
could hardly catch our breath
Now you're body's next to mine
but it seems your spirits left

You once let me in
You once let me near you
You think that I can't
but I really can hear you
So won't you talk to me
while I've got all the time in the world
