a city on fire
a city in ice
i fooled you once
and you fooled me twice
but i let you do a lot of things
back in those days
is it best to leave
or to stay where you are
leave the keys in the mailbox
and get in the car
there’s nowhere to be
with the urge to know
something that can't be known
what difference would it make
to sail across a frozen lake
to see the other side
of a mountain of pain
no use crying over rain
it falls all the same
he never calls
but you never write
you don't have to make love
you don't have to fight
was it real
did you feel it too
or was that something else
that i did for you?
what could i have done
to keep a bullet in a gun
to play a game that can't be won
is losing all the same
no point asking you to stay
you’ll leave either way
difficult to like or love
to have to hold the door all night
the door all night
spring is green
and winter is blue
i can see now what its done to you
to be so much like a season
to never have a reason to stay
you are the sea
and i am a river
at times i am the taker
and other times the giver
for what i am remembered
i will also be forgotten
sometimes i do this listening
and other times the talking
in what you are lost
is where you’ll be found

pulls apart
comes together
you don't write
or read my letters
it gets worse
when it gets better
and what is pain
becomes pleasure
i need release
from this prison
you are light
and i’m a prism
we’re the same
but we are different
and time has turned
what is to isn't
and the stars we see
are dead already
and every time
you leave it gets easier
im alone
but i'm not lonely
and time moves fast
but passes slowly
wounds that close
open others
we are friends
but we are lovers
i'm afraid to say how i feel
you cant see the wind
but you know that it's real
and in my dreams
we are together
but in real life
i’m whatever you want me to be
never saw it coming but i
knew when i looked into your eyes
bodies that betray you
and they lay you in the dirt to die
everybody’s sleeping im just
sleeping for the rest of my life
keep you in a dream so i can
be with you if only in my mind
my mind

i live where i live and
you live where you live
but i don't think i can live like
this feels like falling in love
you’re stalling because
it's too good to be
truth and lies
everything you try to hide
all attempts at being wise
falls asleep with open eyes
walk through the snow to my
job that you know that i hate
but i work there any
way that i see it
if you don't believe it
then this is all a wicked
hunt for sport
put me on display for your
friends that watch you
play the chords
written by someone before
keep away
keep away
keep away
even water from the sea
must return eventually
catch the wave
ride it out to see something
you couldn't see from far away
you’ll come back for me some day

great explanations

what is the difference between you and me
you say that you saw it but what did you see
running in circles just to be by your side
and it must be hard to have sight when you’re blind
landmarks in time used to measure my life
bruises and baggage that i still try to hide
i don't need reminding of what it was like
but how can a person leave their whole life behind
or did you change your mind
uncovering a rock
thats hard to find
a diamond in the rough
you tried to hide
afraid to catch somebody’s eye
most nights i walk home from work and i cry
and i wish i knew but i still don't know why
it's easier to walk in someone else's steps
but halfway home i realize they are my own tracks
you turned around and ran
without a wave or motion of a hand
you jumped into the ocean
and you swam
away to find some other land
but it's all the same
you can't hide from pain
all water must rain sometimes
we all change our minds
we all change our minds

i wonder what we’d see
if you weren't looking at your feet
trying not to fall in love with me
what a lack of faith for you to leap
leap
i hear you up ahead
and you aren't light on what you tread
standing on the bridge
that i would burn from end to end
spare me from the break where you would bend
bend
if i could read your mind
then i could find out what it's like
to be able to hide from yourself all of the time
only careful when you cross the line
line
we wave and say goodbye to each other
at least for tonight
when it doesn't feel right
but it doesn't feel wrong
but it doesn't feel right
when it's all said and done and it's over
will you feel like you won
will you feel like your free
did you get what you wanted
get what you wanted from me
keep on changing your mind and i'll keep on
changing mine
we all run out of breath
we all run out of time
but i won't let you waste
mine

the hares on the hill tell me more than what you will
and the birds in the sky don't tell me lies like you will
i'm not asking for much
but you’ll take more than your fill
when i'm too hot to touch
too stirred up to be still
you drew a line in the sand
and then you walked across it
we found our way but then we lost it
and i am too exhausted to repeat myself
self control more reliable than you are
a man is not his song and his words are not a guitar
i get more mileage from pain
more light from a dying star
there's no gas in the tank
so we don't get very far
but you abandon the ship
before you even sail it
you skip the test
so you can't fail it
you breathe the air
and you exhale into me
til there's no room left to breathe
room to breathe
room to breathe
room to breathe
its dead its done the war is won
you can go home
tuck yourself in and sleep with a grin
cause you love to be alone
i'm not angry with you for letting me take the fall
you can keep telling yourself
that you changed
you didn't change
at all

how many times can you break your heart
when you try to love someone
who can break
themself into pieces and
parts of you that dont ever leave
keep them up my sleeve when you
come back into town
leave no trace
leave no tracks along the
ground
emotion you find intoxicating
when i feel you fading
when i see you taking
and i get nothing
in return let the bridges burn
let the lesson
you are be learned
tell me now how you really feel
that you made it up
that it wasn't real
and everything you said
was for a song
for a sound
for the feeling of being
found you out now theres
no escape you can't
run away
from yourself and hide
behind bars
behind lines
from your perfect crimes
who you could be isn’t who you are
let me out
stop the car
and keep on driving dont
turn around you don't want to be found
you don't want to be found
