lyrics

Staring at the night sky from the roof of my car, enjoying a drink, enjoying the stars
Expecting your arrival, I knew that you lied.
I insisted that you go along with your night and I'd wait outside.
Why do you think I'm here? It's not just to see you... although i wish it were
Sure enough, I fell for the blindman's bluff
Expecting I'd come back and hold you like old times
instead you left me for dead at the foot of a mountain too high to climb.
I was drunkenly confused, he was gone without a word
I couldn't help question he/this was what you preferred.
Tears ran down your face as I stumbled around,
My once empty seat was filled, I'd already lost what I'd found.
After all the shouting as the neighbourhood watched
I was forced to choose, should I fight for you?
What would you do...
if you were forced to run away from someplace you wanted to stay?
We knew right when we crashed ,
that this winter wind would come back to blow us away.
-
"Growing up is never easy, you hold onto things that were and you wonder what's to come. but that night I think we knew it was time to let go of what had been, and look ahead at what would be. Other days. New days. Days to come. The thing is we didn't have to hate each other for getting older, we just had to forgive ourselves for growing up."
-
I was standing in the rain for two months and twenty days
only three fingers cold: pinky, middle and thumb.
Pointing fingers never got us anywhere
lest we forget the bravest one allowed his lust to burn.
We saw this coming for miles,
but we never paid much attention anyways to our surroundings.
I wish I had happier endings...
I couldn't help see the loss in your eyes
Rain checks for sunny days, we'll see the light one dayp
we'll see the light one day...
In accumulation, you were everything I needed you to be...
but now it means nothing to me.
But you'll never know what I had to let go for everything to do with you...
pretty maids all in a row - standing next to you.
Mary mary quite contrary.
