Closed Down

I forgot why we started this

How the feelings will fade and no longer resist

The distance that comes

All of those things that we missed

I remember the place where we first met

When we sat and we talked 'til no one was left

When the bartender said

"I'm sorry, but I need my rest"

We close down

We close down

We gotta go somewhere else

We close down

We took our hopes home to rest

In the same place and out on the same spot

You cheat a little and I'll cheat a lot

Convincing myself that I'm honest

When I know that I'm not

So you drown out your anger, you drown out your fear

And when the shit hits the fan

Somehow, you steer your way clear

But this path keeps on twisting

Year after year after year

'Til you close down

You close down

You shut it all out

You close down

Forgetting what love was about

There's a car on the road with its wheels turning stuck

The driver, he's cursing, he slams the door shut

It's a quiet frustration that leads us down into this rut

And the headlights stream in, they, they light up your face

I wanna jump in my car and drive it away

And when the motor turns over

Slowly, it brings you to where

To close down

Can hear the ghosts making their rounds

The buildings are crumbling and they're working the grounds

We're tearing down what we made without making a sound

So let's jump in that car, escape while we can

From this drift that's become an avalanche

I don't wanna be buried with these ghosts

Who don't understand

Why we close down

We close down

We close down

Close down
