lyrics

I’ll never know
All that you’re feeling
Won’t you show
The things you stopped revealing to me?
Don’t expect the past to mean
That we’ll get caught in in-betweens

Tonight I’ve got nowhere to be

Talk to me the daylight’s almost gone
I don’t know you anyway
When you’re traveling on
Don’t take with you
Words I need to hear you say tonight

You’ll never know
How much it’s meaning
To forgo
Our old constant stream of bleeding and
To hear the tales from Amsterdam
That didn’t make your Instagram
And have no ill to say

Talk to me the daylight’s almost gone
I don’t know you anyway
When you’re traveling on
Don’t take with you
Words I need to hear you say tonight

How can I say what I mean?
I am just one man,
With only 20,000 words
Most of which I’m certain, darling,
You’ve already heard

Now at last
Once hilly grounds lay even
I got past
The day you stopped believing in me
Don’t expect our past to mean
That we’ll get caught in in-betweens

Tonight I’ve got nowhere to be
