[Verse 1] Dust on the library glass Ink stains on my fingers still Your margin notes in Latin Curl around my will You laughed at my tragic heroes Under the autumn sky Said "Write me into the ending" Then kissed the word goodbye [Chorus] You were the only adventure I would seek Oh my darling love of mine Every map I burned was leading back to you Through the corridors of time All the roads in all my books turn weak At the echo of your spine You were the only adventure I would seek Oh my darling love of mine (oh my darling) [Verse 2] Candle wax scars on my desk From nights we rewrote fate Coffee gone cold between us Arguing heaven and hate Your scarf on the back of my chair Still keeps your phantom warm I dress my grief in grammar And call it "weathered form" [Chorus] You were the only adventure I would seek Oh my darling love of mine Every map I burned was leading back to you Through the corridors of time All the roads in all my books turn weak At the echo of your spine You were the only adventure I would seek Oh my darling love of mine (my ruin, my shrine) [Bridge] I haunt the same old hallways Counting the floorboard sighs Annotating absences Where your laughter used to rise If every quest is pointless And every kingdom lies Then let me be the scholar Who only studies your goodbye [Chorus] You were the only adventure I would seek Oh my darling love of mine Every map I burned was leading back to you Through the corridors of time All the roads in all my tales turn weak At the margin of your line You were the only adventure I would seek Oh my darling love of mine (oh my darling)
