Damien Jurado
A Lover, A Balcony Fire, An Empty Orchestra
We keep on acting with these scripts in our hands
Playing make-believe with your suitcase in the hall
Your car is waiting, I will walk you to the door
You said I told you so, sometimes you hurt the ones you hate
There was a time each song was new
And now we're stuck here on rewind
The symphony is winding down
And now we sing to empty seats
We aren't heroic every time we stop this plane
From taking off then crashing into clouds
This is how you disappear, I'm leaving like you've shown me how
You won't be seeing me, sometimes you hurt the ones you hate
There was a time each song was new
And now we're stuck here on rewind
The symphony is winding down
And now we sing to ourselves
