From the recordings Bits & Pieces and If I Go Back
Lyrics
As the world turned underneath us
And the wipers swept the rain
across
our first sight of the city lights
The place we’d learn to count the costs
Of lubricated hazy nights
We tumbled towards the end of us
And found we could survive our youth
But time has been too generous
And now we waste it on these tiny screens
Choking back the impact of a thousand tiny screams
If I go back the way we came
Would it be different now
If I go back the way we came
Would it all turn around somehow
If I go back the way we came
Would I still miss all the signs
That pointed me the other way
Or would we end up here today
Broken all the same?
As the wheels turned underneath us
Seems we must’ve missed the turn
I lit the fire to blaze a trial ahead
And You turned to watch it burn
Away the fuel that gave me hope
That one day we would find our place in time
But as we searched for better words
You stuck to the same tired lines
Delivered here upon these tiny screens
Choking back the impact of a thousand tiny screams
f I go back the way we came
Would it be different now
If I go back the way we came
Would it all turn around somehow
If I go back the way we came
Would I still miss all the signs
That pointed me the other way
Or would we end up here today
Broken all the same
