lyrics

You were alone in the back seat of the car reading words you knew by heart just for comfort, just to twist the knife in. Conversation from the front seat drifts past your head, cradles your imagination until you hear your name and say, "I wasn't listening."

I could leave here nameless. I could leave you faceless. I could leave the rest of this up to you and never make the time for us now. You read all my favorite books and underlined the sentimental parts so you could go back later and assign meaning out of context. Lordy, what a story.

There are ways of going about these things. You tore out the pages with all the rules. It's time, it's time to put them back again. You were whispering through the whole show. I didn't catch most of what you said, but what I did hear left me left me cold. This light I've seen in your eyes, it's been gone for a while, I'll say it now. Say it kindly, say it twice or more: this love I've loved is busted top to floor.
