This is an imitation of a kiss.
An imitation´s all it is and when I kiss you, it may look like a kiss.
Call it a kiss, this imitation of love.

It´s an imitation of romance.
All hollow gestures and demands.
You get agressive.

So tired of routines, you go to extremes.
This imitation of romance.

There´s a place I used to go, it´s closed down long ago.
I´d lie down there in your darkness watching rivers flow.

Now it´s an imitation of love.
No one´s fooling no one.
And though you´re here now, I´m so far away.
Let´s call it a day.
This imitation of a kiss.

When it looks like all is lost here something reappears.
All my reasons leave the room now, leaving you still here.

This is an imitation of goodbye.
I say it´s over all the time, yet I´m still with you.
Don´t know why it is I can´t resist this imitation of a kiss.
