I always knew we'd fall together But I never thought we'd hit this hard Hoping this city will forget your name only to realize it never gave a shit in the first place You can fill its fountains with your petty change
This is when you realize that you've got one of those faces That will let them all just pass you by This is when you realize that you're not mapping new terrain You're simply charting the old landmarks
And I laughed when he said all he's learned has been forgotten but now I can't remember why And they'll cry because the only moments they remember were the first to slip my mind And they'll cry because they still can't see the difference between getting on and getting by
You're always staring to the sky because you can't bear to screen those eyes from a past you wished was never left behind It can never conquer only impose, you lose these battles on your own within these crooked walls you chose to face alone
I lost that touch You lost those eyes Tonight When it felt so right leaving you behind
