The light refracts in the freezing trace that follows as you walk away Leaving behind the things you can’t forget You take the time to make your parting memorable by its restraint And hold the sudden cracking of regret
Here, and back, With all the trash we’ve left out to rust and preserve as past We, again, reach an end that always seems closer And further again, just to keep us wondering What went so wrong to leave you this unimpressed?
In little time, we cover up the traces of the tragic day When we heard certain things were meant to be And so they are, so we can skip the parts where we are not afraid To feel it all slide out so easily
Now here we stand With all the trash we’ve kept in our closets as history Of the days that i could spend just catering to you And fishing for things you’d never find funny The effort it takes to leave you so unimpressed
