It's the same familiar tune it's knocking at my attic ear
It's breaking brain in two I think I feel my heart again
And you're still here, waltzing around all my fortifications
We haven't spoken in months

The sea is glowing green again, greedy at the shore
It's like nothing has changed, warm south wind
I almost ask if you would ask something of me
The words fall off my lips into the empty night unsaid

I've been running, I've been waiting
For something to take me past all this
The plane is boarding at terminal B
I'm getting in line again

If I change the faces frequently enough
Maybe I will forget that one familiar smile
Forget that I could be loved
My frenetic compensation for letting you down is wearing thin

I'm moving on this time
(I can't be paralyzed any longer)
It get easier with time
(That's what I keep telling myself)

I keep convincing myself it's better to keep up the motions
Than feeling the impact, the bruise in my eye
I didn't hear your voice this time
Convincing myself that that's fine

Come back, please stay,
I promise I won't go away
No, that's not true
I know I'll leave you
I'm a wanderer through and through

Jasmine scent, the sprouting buds
Suggest that I could learn to love
I'm a perennial failure, an annual death
Hoping that You'll come around again
Just to hold my hand
Hold me one more step
Don't let the music
Slip out of my head

And I'm broken
That's where we begin
