State Of Oblivion

STATE OF OBLIVION - Written by Carroll Bryant 

We meet

We exchange our pleasantries

We eat 

Our dinner and each other 

Next thing we know we are madly in love

Talking together about the future 

And then our past catches up to us 

Ignorance turns into clever 

If we ever reach the state of oblivion 

Will we only take the love that each of us has given?

And if we ever talk about our problems with somebody else

Would we ever stop to think that our love was merely an illusion?

We're playing in the state of our innocence 

We leave broken pieces in our wake

In the state of oblivion

We meet

We discuss our fatal dreams 

We stay

To touch each others bodies 

Next thing we know we're walking down the aisle

Anticipating memories 

That hide behind a honeymoon smile

Ignorance is bliss

If we ever reach the state of oblivion 

Will we only take the love that each of us has given?

And if we ever talk about our problems with somebody else

Would we ever stop to think that our love was merely an illusion?

We're playing in the state of our innocence 

We leave broken pieces in our wake

In the state of oblivion

You can be that little girl playing with your dolls 

I will be that little boy growing up on football 

A summer day

A baseball game

Drinking lemonade 

Playing doctor in the shade 

We meet

We disrupt our destiny

We seek

The power from each others heart 

Next thing we know we're growing old together

Living in the weather 

That brought us to said place and time 

Ignorance is left behind 

If we ever reach the state of oblivion 

Will we only take the love that each of us has given?

And if we ever talk about our problems with somebody else

Would we ever stop to think that our love was merely an illusion?

We're playing in the state of our innocence 

We leave broken pieces in our wake

In the state of oblivion

In the state of oblivion

We're living in the state of our oblivion

Too oblivious to understand
