"I Should've Known Right From The Start" lyrics - THE LEMON TWIGS

I should've known right from the start
You'd somehow get away from me
Like height abandons gravity
Like time erased eternity you see

[Chorus:]
I should've known right from the eyes
Should've known right from the
I should have known right from the start

We should've stayed a world apart
Like lovers live in secrecy
Like heaven to a priest would be
A flaccid heart preceded me you see

[Bridge:]
We should've stayed a world away
Should have stayed a world a-
We should've stayed a world apart

Happy lives come through God's animation
Love is no fun
It's just aggravation
Tell me why I should cry when it goes away

[Chorus:]
I should've known right from the eyes
Should've known right from the
I should have known right from the start

You should've slain the Bonaparte
A sign of your naivety distracted by the scenery
A flaccid heart preceded me you see

[Outro:]
I should've known right from the eyes
Should've known right from the
I should have known right from the start
