lyrics

What did you say?
My memory
In the meantime
Not what once it was

It’s not the same
It seems so easy
To explain
To those that don’t believe

No! At once my eyes deceive me
What did you say?
I can’t relate
I can’t conclude
I can’t hear anything you did not say

What would it take?
To light a match
Jump over this fire
I would do just that

If it meant
Meant anything at all
To feel the flames
Licking at my feet

And so it’s on and on and on and on
It’s on and on
I’d walk along broken glass
Just to see your face
What more can I provide?
My feet all crushed in wounds

A couple of winters ago
We went to meet your parents for the weekend
The train left early and you slept most of the way
I read a book but could barely concentrate
Looking out of the window
Fields as far as the eye could see
And for a brief moment the forward momentum
Was the happiest I will ever be
No past, no present (Only future)
The subtle promise of a better day (Only you)
Our history, our mistakes (Only future)
The before and the forever afters (Only you)
And the same sound keeps rolling around in my head
That fateful memory that I wish I could forget

It was a mistake
It was a mistake
It was a mistake

And all the while it’s said and done
In violence
You trace the lines across my back
In silence

I’d walk along broken glass
Just to see your face
What more can I provide?
My feet all crushed in wounds

And as the saying goes
We all love what we regret
I’m not sure that’s true
But I guess they had it right
When all the while
It’s said and done
You trace the lines across my back

It’s not the same
It’s never easy
To explain to those that don’t believe
(And the same sound just keeps rolling)

What I said that day
It isn’t what I meant
I left you crying at your desk
I am so torn

What would it take?
To light a match
And jump over this fire
I would do just that
You are so optimistic
What can I say?

It’s not the same
It seems so easy
Into the unknown
No past, no present
Only future
