lyrics

i made a list of the words that i've never said,
all the brilliant bits of babel, i've left to echo in my head.
i made a list of the things we could never be,
i placed pen to paper and I let it bleed.
all the action, distractions, the dissatisfactions,
all the means to assemble an apology

but if one is too many, i'm somehow not enough
and the sanctuary city of your heart, it's been boarded shut.
the space, the distance we embrace, on our own.
learn to live on the long rides home.

you made a list of the things that you swore i'd keep
you searched the apartment for a sign of me.
outlasted, contrasted, we shuffled right past it.
a chorus keeps calling for a cacophony

but we're starving for silence, and strapped to our seat.
one way or another you'll take your eyes off of me.
we'll slip past the coat room,
on out to the street.
back to the bar,
for a taste of who we used to be.

oh no
you were just learning learning to let got.
we were just learning to say, "no."
you knew how hard this could be.
i'll move slow
and i'll just go by your say so.
we'll learn the places where pain can go,
it feels like what you need.

are we learning to be?
