Lyrics

I've spent the last few months storming Jerusalem
Earning the holes in my shoes
This winter came up on me quicker than last year’s
But I know that that’s no excuse
I had so much to lose, not least of all you
I shouldn’t pretend that I’m staying when I know that isn’t true
I’ve been trying to leave Kent so long
I might as well have just been passing through
I’ve been preoccupied stripping the mountainside
I keep forgetting to call
Don’t you wait up for me, I won’t be home
Without something to hang on the wall
I don’t remember it all, but I remember enough
Like that old myth that I loved, with the ending I might’ve made up
And I can’t find the line between the parts that were mine
And the parts meant to tell us what we should have done
I live in sets of months, chasing oblivion
Burning the red in my eye
These winters keep coming on later and later
This summer refuses to die
And I still act surprised, I still shift the blame
Like when I lock the door and you don’t break it down all our breaking’s the same
But if you find where I hid, if you don’t just forget
I swear I can love you better than this
It was the best I could be, to love like I did
A burrowing insect who digs ‘til it’s freezing
And wonders when the warm air went away
