Lyrics

Did you know me
Long ago?
Were we close
Before the sorrow?
If you thought of leaving any traces
I'll be sifting through the broken places
Did I know you
Once upon a time?
You dreamed of me
And now I'm
Searching for myself in strangers' faces
Stumbling onto further broken places
She turns purple
Am I blue?
Can't she fathom
What I do?
Trying to get in her better graces
Touching her in all the broken places
I get crazy
Not sure why
Solace beckons
Until I
Go tearing off again on wild chases
Crashing into same old broken places
I am young so
Who's to say?
But for now I
Have no way
Of knowing how much healing time erases
Certain of these secret broken places
Can't there be a
Little breather?
Our love is a
Real seether
To sore hearts we plead our hapless cases
Rendezvousing at the broken places
I love you for
All of this
Struggling towards
Happiness
When the chips are down we play our aces
Hiding them in our broken places
