The book was written for someone else
To give perspective on our regrets
The book wasn't read
Full of passages that moved us that we'll forget
(something we couldn't be, swallow your suffering over again)
(then we tried, we left, we lied, still inside)
(done all we could do)

Shuffling along to the beat of your own inner dialogue
All this time I've been tumbling in a vacuum
There's no terminal vеlocity
And from all I've learned I know еventually I'm gonna be

Falling at light speed
And I don't know how it works
But with the time dilation
I just fear you're gonna be
Grown more so than me
When I get home you'll have outgrown me

Don't feel bad, there was nothing we could do

Nothing could ever get through to you
(so you're alone now)

If you could do it all again, would you do anything different?
Would it even make a difference?
Can we go back again to the start?

We sat anticipating
A meeting in a parking lot
So much for the future
Always found a way to failure

When will you finally understand it
Exactly what you're running from?
So you said...

Often you would open, and even more often you would shut down
And nobody offered any help, they didn't know a thing
Often you would look back
And often you'd watch yourself again
You never understood why it looked so different

Never learned a thing

So we dreamed of a different life
One where we're closer to the ones we love
(you can't deny)
On and on, tethered to our past
We can't just build new roads
But we can break them apart
We can make them again
