lyrics

the way you tell it, you knew I would make a move before I even knew / in winter street light, snow collecting in our eyelashes / our kiss set you on fire / and now we’re burning / yeah we’re both burning // but now these miles wear us down and drive us apart / a jet of piss on our coals / I’m building broke machines while you seek easy comfort in others’ arms / collapsing house built of cards / but I’m still burning / my heart keeps burning / I’m lost and losing like a blind pelican caught in the surf // you claim a train wreck is all your heart could ever pulse / a sash of blood on the tracks / screaming women, dead babies’re what you promised me / it’s what I wanted / so baby, who wrecked who? // cast me away / reel me back in / cast me away / try again / try try again // and maybe our compassion / always comes across as cruelty / and maybe our deep connection / was always mistaken identity / so who am I now? / yeah who are you now? / who were those people then and how did they become us now? // it’s sad to love a woman who uses your good intentions and sets your meaning aside / but I suspect this stupid torture’s as close as I’ll get to the truth behind the cloud // the way you tell it, ours was a love that’s true / but I don’t know what’s true / I want to hold on / can’t hold you and still move on the way you moved on / the way you moved on / the way you moved on / the way you’ve passed me by // I swore I’d never surrender like the ocean’s moon reflected back reflected back / a captive fool for you / you asked for nothing / for nothing we set our world on fire / so baby, who burned who?
