In a film camera lens
In surprise parties thrown
In torn jean jackets
In braided hair
In sweat shed in summer
In feet wet with dew
I put on a siren and turned it on mute

And in attendance of these times, I'm sorry if I seemed
Unable to move, unable to speak, unable to breathe
Unable to move, unable to speak, unable to breathe

It's not unlike the time you called my name
And it's not unlike the time you pulled away
It's not unlike the time you called my name
And it's not unlike the time you pulled away
It's not unlike the time you called my name
It's knowing you aren't
And it's not unlike the time you pulled away
Shameful and worthless
It's not unlike the time you called my name
It's knowing you aren't
And it's not unlike the time you pulled away
Shameful and worthless

In a film camera lens
In seeds I have sown
In rooms filled with silence
In hands of care
My feet wet with summer
My eyes filled with dew
I turned off my siren and put it on you

It's not unlike the time you called my name
And it's not unlike the time you pulled away
It's not unlike the time you called my name
And it's not unlike the time you pulled away

Unable to move, unable to speak, unable to breathe
Unable to move, unable to speak, unable to breathe
