So when and where do you think everything ended? How and why do we live with the pain that descended Into our midst? There comes the familiar scene of old It's the same picture, love, down to the wind and the cold There goes the fire, the chimney is ever so clean The walls are here; where have we all been? Changes of the present, there can never be two Of lives lived and love fully given and enacted due Tell me, where is the home we promised to each other? Where were the times spent and the pieces we gathered? When do you think all the paint started to bleed? It's the same fears, love; perhaps, even the same deed
Jumping carelessly into a pile of our resolve Feelings rushed and our thoughts didn't evolve From the same, primal instinct to never be alone In a sea of crowded faces, found love, broken bones We are in a hurry to feel the sand beneath our feet To taste the skies, the mountains, to dance to the beat Somehow, through all that, we marched, forgot to look back To where we came from, to what we didn't think we lack And there we were at the limelight we never wanted to be Where all the sins of the past laid bare for all to see We start to run, to pretend that life is cool and easy It's the same fears, love; it's the same burden to carry
When and where do you think it all began? How and why did we fest on the mistake we have done? Down our gullets came the bitter taste of love Had we swallowed it whole, water won't be enough To wash out the stains of lives without meaning When we pretend we saw everything from the beginning What did you see aside from the race we kept on running? Have you seen us win? Did we perhaps find something To appease the growing hunger existence has left In our veins, ever-growing and ever bereft? Fill me in with the lies I'll keep on believing It's the same words, love; maybe it was all for nothing
Skipping stones and watching each one fall to the depths Which has been the most fulfilling of all the thefts? Have you stitched your broken heart and smiled Or did you forget the reason why you're out in the wild? Believe me, I have your best interest in saying this We have been spending time sitting in our ignorance It's time to move on, to become a new flower in bloom So forgive me for leaving, for spelling your doom There have been things I'd treasure and some I'd throw I'll lick my scars and hope one day you'd know All the pain inflicted by the tongue you failed to leash It's the same wounds, love; it's all the things I won't miss
