lyrics

I came when you were alone
And looking for a better time and place
You know, I went out with you ‘cause I was alone too
We made a house for a while
Til we came to see the crack in our plaster smile
No matter what now, will I come to
In a better time and place
Man made anew?

Oh I’m so tired,
Couldn't find your truth
In broken headlights
Feel I’m going insane
Snowblind
Breaking for you to stay in my life
Skidding in my high school parking lot,
In a dream replaced by your figure 8 ring
My eternity stalled on your finger
Never left you
Because I was so afraid
Of being alone
So ashamed
I needed you
To feel at home
Now that I'm called
To face some facts
Would much rather wait for time
To come and circle back.

I'm piled up trash to you
But I'm just not healthy enough now to lose
Can't help it
I just can't snap feeling to a grid
Quick as you do
Seven months since our cold heart fall
Dead of winter passed
Still hung up on your last call
You raged to break some sharp space,
You said if we were ever to be in touch at all

Oh I’m so tired,
Couldn't find your truth
In broken headlights
Feel I’m going insane
Snowblind
Breaking for you to stay in my life
Skidding in my high school parking lot,
In a dream replaced by your figure 8 ring
My eternity stalled on your finger
Never left you
Because I was so afraid
Of being alone
So ashamed
I needed you
To feel at home
Now that I'm called
To face some facts
Would much rather wait for time
To come and circle back

Time will circle back
I'll still find the lack
Time will circle back

I know the past is the past
And there is no going back
Yeah the past is the past
And there is no going back
Well yeah, time cycles
Sure, time cycles
I've seen time cycle back
But the past is the past
The present we meet now is slightly altered in fact
Which means we were still being changed
Even while we were chained
To our death wish
Our unlived heart attack
But the past is the past
Thank g-d we're not going back

I came when you were alone
And looking for a better time and place
You know, I went out with you but then was called up to prove
That your jaded mask so over love and romance
Contained a kind beauty and we were entranced
Oh five years now
Did it come to this?
Did I set my fate
By pointing out
Your cloaked clenched fist?
