lyrics

streetlamps going out when you look there
but mostly leaning back the delay is in your chest now
it's no surprise
you left your eyes in the sky
spilling wine on your dress
how did we come to this turn around two ?
i give you flowers but it's thorns that i get from you
how can this be true ?

there's people in your life to whom you wish you'd never said goodbye
what's a future matter when you love you much that you could almost lose your mind
you never stare
you hope that somewhere out there
there's a peace of mind
a piece that just takes time to find

stay at home read a book learn to sit down
count backwards from 156 by thirteen, twelve
get the paper and the pens out
how could you trivialize the things that you think about ?
that i repress, i digress, what a mess that we could do without

you never came to look out for anyone but yourself
i've got regrets, i confess, it's good it didn't work out
can you imagine where we'd be if we stuck it through
i'd be quiet but i'm sure there'd be a smile on you
if only i knew
