Every time the day darkens down and goes away
Pictures open in my head of me and you
Silent and cliche, all the things we did and didn’t say
Covered up by what we did and didn’t do
Going through every out I used to cop to make the repetition stop
What was I supposed to say?
Now I never leave my zone, we’re both alone
I’m going home, I wish I’d never seen your face
A few summers ago a good friend of my dad's killed himself and I used to come downstairs at night when I couldn't sleep and listen to this. I love you, Elliott.
such a tremendous wrenching song. i have had it on loop for three days. so very profound to me. kind of like a decent into madness a little, with the piano. I love this song to death. i know that sounds goofy, but i don't care.
