Lyrics

[00:24.714] It's so hard to recall all their names
[00:30.286] And at 2 AM most of these streets look the same
[00:36.689] There's no reason to lie you look pretty when you cry
[00:42.642] But we don't want to dwell on that
[00:47.942] Cause there are some things we need to forget
[00:53.943] And no I don't mean the war
[00:57.293] the decisions or regrets. Now you start getting loud
[01:03.293] oh you always were proud. And it's true
[01:07.894] you have things to be proud of
[01:11.794] Through the muffling thickness
[01:15.495] of multiple scarves you said
[01:18.745] the terrible truth is love has torn us apart
[01:24.147] But a side street bar will bring warmth to our hearts
[01:29.748] And the past will turn to longing once again
[01:36.151]
[02:00.256] Then January tightened its grip
[02:07.039] We swerved into silence the frost sealed our lips
[02:12.539] And the detour derailed
[02:14.590] we went back from where we came
[02:17.691] where they greeted us like we're strangers
[02:23.141] It's getting harder and harder to try and fight time
[02:29.393] And now the DJ plays our favorite from 1999
[02:35.343] But if you hum along and remember the song
[02:41.194] we may move on to the next one
[02:46.796] But all the tones bounce off these walls
[02:58.599] Just like the paint has peeled off of city hall
[03:10.450] It used to look beautiful
[03:15.801] But it's a fucking disaster now
[03:23.101] Well the stains on the tracks
[03:26.101] are the proof we have been bleeding
[03:29.152] But it's only where they've taken us
[03:32.501] not where they're leading
[03:34.853] So let the telephone poles
[03:37.753] become beacons on the road to a place that's just your own
[03:45.854] That you can call home
