lyrics

PLEASE USE OTHER DOOR, it read
but I’m starting to think
that this is the only entrance
and I don’t know if you’ve thought this through
I’m not sure if this is a bright side
but I’ll let you know to what conclusion I come
you see I fumbled for my words on the corner of the pavement

are you sure this is the right direction?
I just think we might be lost
so let’s pull over, let the car cool down
you said maybe you’d rather stop

the buildings sighed with your decision
my city crumbles, the people gone
I stared at the walls long enough
Now I know their deepest thoughts

Closing time, she said
They moved the tables
and pointed to the exit
so I’ll just wait on the curb for something new
if you can’t tell, I am sick of these proofs
geometry, I am tired of sharp angles
but i’ll write my name on the corner of the pavement

I hate this town, the buildings are all wrong
they strip you down every weekend
I walked those tracks on bare feet
talking across countries in the wind

but i’ll fall asleep by morning
stop fighting with the gate I locked myself in
sleep through my classes
now call my family and let them know where i’ve been

but I love this town, the bricks made of glass
I’m just throwing stones at your houses
If I swear to stop knocking, will you answer the door?
