Present day and age:
|
There's a sign that says "you're finally here" and "welcome home".
|
And after all this time, you would think that I could find a way to blend.
|
But even when I try, I can barely stand to recreate the melody of when I shut my door,
|
You went overboard with your display.
|
I've got someone to smile for me.
|
He says I wasn't always this way, but now I've got someone to lie for me.
|
Oh well. We always hide behind the things that move us up and down.
|
They bring us to our knees and we're blank until we find an easy end.
|
Asleep in empty sheets, there's a knock saluting desperations' on the phone.
|
But wake me when the sunlight shines through the ornamental glass at dawn.
|
I've got someone to smile for me.
|
She says I wasn't always this way, but now I've got someone to lie for me.
|
Oh well, she's right.
|
But now for the time, she calms me down.
|
I know that all of this is all for nothing.
|
We shout words through a crowd of red and green.
|
Under the limbs of every fire hazard, we start young and it never stays the same.
|
I know that someone has a lot to say now, but we'll hide behind a mass of preparation gone wrong.
|
Someday, after all the cold embraces,
|
We'll toast wine and share a memory to paint the picture.
|
I know that honesty's a problem in this line of work, but I will always hold my breath when I see snow.
