False Starts v. 2


Faltered with my innocence
For every distant mushroom cloud
Was this world still born irrelevant?
From our distances somehow

We seemed to grow up sheltered but
These bombs fall fast and sharp
Tell me why it had to lead us here
In a lifetime of false starts

Now I keep counting the reasons
For all connections that I've tossed aside
You know it used to be so easy
But now I can't find a place to hide, a place to hide

Love is a dream that I gave away
I left it with the homeless hearts that pray
For something to exist, now it's trailing on your lips

Everybody knows what I had to do
As the meanings come apart, we can't follow through
I'll be lost in the abyss, for a reason such as this

Fake designs made intricate
Our every fear sunk underneath
Was this world tied up in something else?
All excuses for beliefs

So I've been counting the reasons
For each connection that I can't deny
You know it used to be so easy
But now I'm looking for a place to hide, a place to hide

Holding onto something that I can't convey
If love's in your heart, you'll never fade away
When nothing here exists, you can read it on my lips

Everybody knows what we had to do
As the meanings come apart, I can't hide from you
We'll get lost in the abyss, for a moment to resist

When every autumn leaf comes falling down
Listen to the silence, find some solid ground
We'll watch the breaking waves, as the sky starts turning grey

You brought me to the place where I need to be
I had to find myself a little bit of gravity
Now there's nothing left to say, as the seasons slip away

Oh there's nothing left to say, as the seasons slip away
There's nothing left to say, as the seasons slip away
