back to the door

back to the door where it feels right
she's just another version of you
yeah back to the door it just feels right
is there anyone waiting for you

just keep knocking, keep knocking
back to the door
yeah keep knocking, keep knocking
back to the door

now back on the floor where it feels right
she's the right perversion of you
then back to the door cause it feels right
now keep knocking, keep knocking
back to the door

she's screaming things, i want to hear

you say to me but your not there

in these avenues, i think you are

in the words she says, i bet you are

we've found that door, and passed it up

i'll drink to you and pass the cup

she's sipping wine, that i drink too much

and showing things, i'm gonna touch

her back to the door and keep knocking

yeah keep knocking, keep knocking

til you hear me come - back to the door
yeah keep knocking, keep knocking
back to the door

promises

i remember those walks to that park by the shore
talking about levitation or the love it brings
the cherry marks left behind that passion sings

and how i stopped you before you could ever know
all the places you always wanted to go
even if you never knew how to walk away
cause we always had these levitations to help on our way

oh and how much i hated that lip gloss you wore
still couldn't wait to have to wipe it off my face again
as you promised to not wear it again, again

i guess we always knew the ending's story
the promises that sent us on our way home
the promises of blind answers to the future questions that we own
the promises of residue from trust betrayed and sold
the promises of all we've ever known

the promise to promise my way back home

where i'll meet you

baby let it go
everything around you
baby let it show
everything you've expected to have
it's not the ending that counts
it's when you've realized you've arrived there

maybe it was wrong
but could we've known
maybe it's right
and the next move is your's to make
it's not what happens in the end
it's how far you'd go to get there

theres a town near by
where the ending never comes
everyone arrives
but they pass right through
that's where i'll meet you
it's where i'll meet you

baby let it go
it'll be alright
because i let it go
again tonight

again tonight...

saving graces

i'm kicking around pieces
the memories you've left behind this door
now i'm in all your blankets again
but they can't keep me warm anymore
so i'm finding comfort in stills
and spirits i carry home with me everynight

it is the only thing that still feels right

the room is empty again
everything i have pushed back to the walls
remembering march nineth
where i kept you pressed against it all
i always gave you my best
whether it was in my arms or in our bed

it was the only thing that really felt right

the perfect words

i woke up in my car
retracing how i got here
outside your house
covered in blinding regret
but i can see you
wrapped in those red curtains
hand on the window
you want to touch me again
but still won't let me in

last night you wept
and set that room on fire
with anger from trust
i saw love leave your eyes
but i can see you
wrapped in those white sheets
love in your heart
you want to touch me again
but still won't let me in

and here i am again
alone in front of another ending
this could be it
the exact moment i've been waiting for
but can i remember the perfect words from last night
or will i just stare at all the things i fear i've lost

stolen and broken

...if it's all we are why does it feel so wrong
when every time i really try you aren't there
long enough for me to believe you'll be back

now you know i'm here to catch my breath
so i can finally tell you how much this hurts
every time you say "tonight let's just be lovers"

and i can't seem to fight it
i just can't fight it anymore

so please bare with me now
while i try to walk away tonight
without resolve, without strength
knowing i just don't know how

for now i'll just wait around these thoughts
trying hard to remember how you really felt
when you wanted to touch the man i am

it's not you i hear behind that voice anymore
it was your soul that sounded like true affection
every time you used to say "let's stay like this"

and i can't seem to fight it
i just can't fight it anymore

so please bare with me now
while i try to walk away tonight
without resolve, without strength
knowing i just don't know how

i just don't know how to fight it anymore
and i just want to fight it some how
but i don't ever want to forget that night
no matter how hard i try to fight it
stolen and broken my heart was on stage
the night it seemed like everyone cares
the three hours that everything changed
that night you filled these empty stares

but please bare with me now
while i try to walk away again
without you and without the strength
of knowing i just don't know how

know

she said "lately, it's been an interesting string
the line between where we started and what you still sing,"
i am forever yours, you know you know you know
and somehow i’m gone

she said "greatly, i've been quite the spoiled one
smiling at how i know i decide when all this will be done"
i am forever yours, you know you know you know
but i'm already gone

she said "i am uptight and wonderful like you've known
i'm nothing more than the beautiful disaster i've always shown”
i am forever yours, i know i know i know no i know
and i still can't breathe

she said "sorry’s don't hold up to the offenses they defend
but suffice a hunger for words that cripples more than it mends
i was never yours, i think you knew, i know you know”
but i still believe
