Lyrics

I picked up the phone, we were both on the line
Your words to each other froze me in time
A lifetime between us just burned on the wires
Dissolved in a dial tone, consumed in your fires
Your footsteps beside me, the phone in my hand
I can't move, I can't stand
Our faces in pieces, facades on the floor
The pretense between us for a moment destroyed
I don't want to go on with these words in my heart
The ghost of your anger will tear us apart
Now my little world's just weathered and small
I'm too young; I'm too old
One day soon I'll know
One day soon I'll just let it go
I run from the bedroom with legs paralyzed
I carve out my future, part prophet, part plant
It's nobody's business, no one is to blame
We'll meet in the distance, new numbers, new names
I've lifted the veil, I've walked through the fire
I'll move on, I'll go higher
