A Glorious Catastrophe (repainted) Songtext
von Svavar Knútur

I met you on a wednesday night
All ginger haired in evening lights
And how
How my heart went mad
And I sighed
You knew before we kissed that we would
Crash and burn and hiss and churn
And how
How you bowed your head
And you cried

Oh how you cried
And oh how I sighed
If I had only known
Wouldn′t have mattered either way

Crush is such a fitting word
You crushed me like a little bird
And how
How I gave my all
How we tried


Now all that's left for you and me
Is a glorious catastrophe
And how
How I bow my head
And I cry

Oh how I cry
And oh, how we tried
If I had only known
Wouldn′t have mattered either way

Could somebody reflect for me
What's normal to expect from me
From life, and from love and from all of the above
How can I, how can I
Possibly know, oh how things go?
If I had only known
Wouldn't have mattered
If I had only known
Wouldn′t have mattered
If I had only known
Wouldn′t have mattered either way
