Lyrics

Headlights race towards the corner of the dining room
Half illuminate a face before they disappear
You breathe in forty years of failing to describe a feeling
I breathe out smoke against the window, trace the letters in your name
Our letters sound the same;
Full of all our changing that isn't change at all
All straight lines circle sometime
You said "somewhere there's a box full of replacement parts
To all the tenderness we've broken or let rust away
Somewhere sympathy is more than just a way of leaving
Somewhere someone says 'I'm sorry.'
Someone's making plans to stay."
So tell me it's okay
Tell me anything, or show me there's a pull
Unassailable, that will lead you there
From the dark, alone, benevolence that you've never known
Or you knew when you were four and can't remember
Where a small knife tears out those sloppy seams
And the silence knows what you silence means
And your metaphors (as mixed as you can make them)
Are linked, like days, together
I still hear trains at night, when the wind is right
I remember everything, lick
And thread this string that will never mend you
Or tailor more than a memory of a kitchen floor
Or the fire-door that we kept propping open
And I love this place; the enormous sky
And the faces, hands that I'm haunted by
So why can't I forgive these buildings
These frameworks labeled "home"?
