Stain set in a day Washed to fade Watched and walked away With some forgettable charm Regrettably long overstay Tried to trace back to find ourselves again Used to the silence
And it took us more than we’d like to admit And it still takes
We hoped to release our whole memories for each other to see But as much as we’d like to concede, we couldn’t share everything
For the times we thought something we couldn’t speak Or the will to keep something we couldn’t keep
Spent all morning long planning how our simple dialog would go And where it’d go
And surely it deviates So what does that say? If my success rate of guessing what you’re gonna say Can’t get it straight
And I wouldn’t rely, even though my voice is sore, On either one of us to leave it alone anymore And at the end of it, I said everything’s alright It was all I had to leave it said for the last time
All the stitches tight, and all the knots were tied Waited long enough to make sure all the glue was dry And we took it out But just like every time, it drifted too high, And got stuck in a tree the first time it left the ground And there it stayed
“So let’s just pretend that everything said, everything we did, Everything between you and me was never meant.”
Spent all afternoon going over and over again how it went Got too close to tell if it’s that hard a sell Can you hear yourself?
