lyrics

Do you dream to make it happen ?
Or do we take the road to somewhere we don’t know ?
It’s more than just a ritual when the difference is the same
Not good enough to hold you but good enough to blame
And did you promise not to promise ?
And does it take your breath to hang on every word ?
Well it’s hard enough for anyone when there’s nothing left to say
But I still can’t find the memory since you took my ghosts away
Your pictures in the frame
‘cause you’re the very reason why the dogs out in the rain. . .

There’s a space between the heavens
That goes deeper than the paths we never go
And there’s a peace of mind to be refined
When there’s magic in the spell
But I won’t tell you the story, it isn’t mine to tell
And everything’s fine, most of the time, everything’s fine
And if I fall in love with anyone, I’d rather it were you
You see I’m old enough and cold enough to let these feelings through
Your pictures out the frame
‘cause you’re the one who went and left the cake out in the rain . . .
I think you know the way to go . . .
When you’ve lost the things that you couldn’t find
And you feel like a number that has just resigned
To break the mould or break the fall, I’ve lost the pieces that made this wall
I’m lost for words when I take this stage
A blinding light on an empty page
To pass the time or pass the blame, the only words that you hear them say
Everything’s over and that’s what you’re told to believe
Hold on, hold on, hold on . . .

Well it got so cruel that it’s not that kind
So I chased the lamb just one more time
And drive the road, there’s hearts to break
It’s a little piece of heaven and a big mistake
It’s not the words that were left unsaid
That’s missing the monkey that’s in my head
It’s the things I do that you don’t know
That stops the heart from beating slow
Everyone’s older, is that what you want to believe ?
Hold on, hold on, hold on . . .

So everything gets broken and nothing stays the same
The closure that was open is just the memory of a name
And the words we left unspoken were in the palm of your hands
You listen but you don’t understand . . .

You can try to hide the purpose and you can try to find the songs
Well you can pass the time to make the reasons rhyme
But is it right to write the wrongs ?
The old man asked the angel but there’s a million things to say
If you believe it all then you can face the fall and then tomorrow is yesterday
And now I’m living it all again, it’s like I’m living it all again
You just had to know to let the feelings go
That’s why I’m living it all again . . .

And in the end, your only friend
Well that’s the only ghost you’ve left behind . . .
