Picking Locks (alternate version)


The love we shared was beautiful but that's never how it ends
And you compromised with me because you knew I'd still give in
Lost in our translations with some signal fires of hope
You kept planning out my future like the punchline to a joke

If we didn't speak and learnt to sweep our dirt under the rug
You're sure that we could fake it, looking down from up above
Comparing all these stupid moves to standards yet attained
It was less than what we'd hoped for but still futile all the same

When you sleep is this the dream that's been imagined?
Or when you scream are these the words you've longed to hear?
All entrapment failed to work here as a magnet
But when you stop to take it in is there some fear?
Well just you wait another year

I held your hand to keep it warm but never for control
Too many saught to get their way but I could never be so bold
Passive like this sleepless night to take in anything
Chasing it and chasing it until it formed a ring

When you sleep is this the dream that's been imagined?
Or when you scream are these the words you've longed to hear?
All entrapment failed to work here as a magnet
But when you stop to take it in is there some fear?
Well just you wait another year

I said that I'd get out of here, I told you that I'd leave
Then you locked the doors so tightly and quickly threw away the keys
One that led me back to light and one straight to my heart
Until I finally picked the locks and left your house of cards
But you never saw it coming from the start

When you sleep is this the dream that's been imagined?
Or when you scream are these the words you've longed to hear?
All entrapment failed to work here as a magnet
But when you stop to take it in is there some fear?

When you sleep is this the dream that's been imagined?
Or when you scream are these the words you've longed to hear?
All entrapment failed to work here as a magnet
But when you stop to take it in is there some fear?
Well just you wait another year

Just you wait another year, yeah just you wait another year
I'm tired of picking locks to disappear
