The Line
[Verse 1]
She was the first one to go
'I’ll be back for you,' the final words she spoke
And he was the second one to leave
Whispered, 'Don’t you worry'
[Chorus]
Because time is a warm dark circle
Day is returned to the looping of the line
Night is only a passing thing
We’ll be back again when it’s right
[Verse 2]
So I take it casually now
Got a new lease on the light
I quit my job, I don’t put fires out
It’s not the way to save a life
[Verse 3]
Oh, I stripped my body
On the hurt locker kind
I quit the ticking and the clipping of the wirеs
I no longer clock the time
[Chorus]
'Causе it’s all just a long dark circle
Day is returned to the looping of the line
Night is only a passing thing
We’ll be back again sometime
[Verse 4]
So I’m off, well I’m sailing out
Gotta find some better light
You track the wake and you'll find what I’m about
I’ll be back when it’s right
[Verse 5]
Well, I stripped my body
Of all that made it mine
I quit the slipping of the fingers of the dial
I no longer take up time
[Chorus]
It’s all just a long dark circle
Day is returned to the looping of the line
Dying is only a passing thing
We’ll be back again sometime
We’ll be back again when it’s right
She was the first one to go
'I’ll be back for you,' the final words she spoke
And he was the second one to leave
Whispered, 'Don’t you worry'
[Chorus]
Because time is a warm dark circle
Day is returned to the looping of the line
Night is only a passing thing
We’ll be back again when it’s right
[Verse 2]
So I take it casually now
Got a new lease on the light
I quit my job, I don’t put fires out
It’s not the way to save a life

I quit the ticking and the clipping of the wirеs
I no longer clock the time
