lyrics

All are bending to observe
(Those days when your mouth was mine)
All the faces repeat these days
(The more I see, the less I feel)
I thought I was invincible
(I thought I was just like them)
I keep the secrets that I don’t want to face
(Collected close behind my ears)
Drive me home, let it snow
When you go, leave a note

And all I thought I could have had
I’ll pay it off first of the month
Oh, all the lives I’ll never know
Show of hands for all who regret
To rearrange the furniture
To hate with God on your side
Where is the cognitive harmony?
If there is such a thing,
Let me know

My face, it’s smiling pleasantly
And then I’m crying in the sheets
Bruise me while I’m still young and useful
