Lyrics

When all else fails like the daylight
And the sky hangs like a hot bruise
Roots are breaking through the pavement underneath you
These things are hard to pick up where you left them
Harder still to let lie where they fall
Most nights I hear noise, sometimes it's your voice
If I'm lucky I hear nothing at all
That's not what I meant
When I said goodbye forever
Not what I meant
When I said goodbye forever
I love whatever planet you are anchored to
Whatever skeleton you hang from
I love all your little rituals
I love a little dedication
You've got all these killer instincts
I've got all my magic spells
And yet within the depths of empty rooms
Is where we spend ourselves
That's not what I meant
When I said goodbye forever
Not what I meant
When I said goodbye forever
A building rises like an evil skeleton giant
And the sky can shine right through
And you go out to meet your failures
Wherever they may wait for you
But I know that your love will devastate them
Your love will terrify them
I know everybody quietly will learn to hate surprises
That's alright
That's all fine
Nobody I know gets to be their best self all the time
So don't go changing, don't go growing
Don't go leaving us alone again
You'd say, "Myles, I can drag you out through the water
But nobody's going to help you swim"
I see you becoming viscous, turning to liquid
Like all fluid things, you are drawn to the moon
With water's indifference and distance and crosswords
Like pillars of salt, we dissolve into you
This is the ring that you're gonna sling me when I'm feeling overboard
Where the water is as smooth as a dance floor
(Woo!)
