Wake up, try on your new disguise,
|
Would they recognize you anyway?
|
Would they?
|
Dead leaves lie down beneath your feet
|
As you step into the street and
|
Notice the distance between the hearts and homes
|
|
But still you know it's alright.
|
You're not looking back this time.
|
You know it's alright.
|
You're stepping on the cracks and you feel fine.
|
|
Don't waste your breath.
|
You wouldn't want this anyway.
|
And if you did, I think I'd let you,
|
Talk this to death, or in circles like we're aeroplanes.
|
But all along I knew that we would sputter out.
|
We would sputter.
|
|
Outside constructions workers pour
|
A brand new basement floor.
|
But then the ground starts shaking
|
fault lines to your own front door.
|
I looked at this and thought of you,
|
And all that is and isn't true,
|
And with the strength left in me,
|
walked on while the walls came down.
|
|
It's alright.
|
You're not looking back this time.
|
You know it's alright.
|
I'm stepping on the cracks and I feel fine.
|
|
Don't waste your breath.
|
You wouldn't want this anyway.
|
And if you did, I think I'd let you,
|
Talk this to death, or in circles like we're aeroplanes.
|
But all along I knew that we would sputter out.
|
We would sputter.
|
|
We would sputter...
|
We would sputter...
|
We would sputter out...
|
We would sputter out.
|
|
Don't waste your breath.
|
You wouldn't want this anyway.
|
And if you did, I think I'd let you,
|
Talk this to death, or in circles like we're aeroplanes.
|
But all along I knew that we would sputter out. (We would sputter)
|
But all along I knew that we would sputter out. (We would sputter)
|
But all along I knew that we would sputter out.
|
We would sputter
|
We would sputter down.
