Lyrics

When one year ends and another begins
And the sky is a shower of sparks
With your skinny girl arms with their
Hairs on the ends like exclamation marks
Well I admit I was scared, I felt unprepared
If I need you tell me where you will be
You said "It's not surprising, just look to the
Horizon, it's the circle in the middle is me"
A week in the hospital, always sick when you were
Little, you were brittle like butterfly bones
I wish I'd have been there to run a comb through your
Hair, it always smelled like smoke and pinecones
But then the devil shot through you, you got stronger as
You grew, but they treat you like you're never the same
You filled your one good lung and bit down hard on
Your tongue just to keep yourself from going insane
Oh, oh, oh
And the rides keep on turning
And our lives insist on turning
And my mind, it keeps on learning
But I can smell something burning
Now in a minute or less I tried to confess
Every single thing I learned so far
In a skirt you'd stolen as the roads unreeling
And are rolling 'neath the wheels of the car
No, I haven't been drinking, I don't know what I
Was thinking, but it really don't mean anything
You said "Do me a favour, if you wanna be my saviour
Then you're gonna have to wait 'til the spring"
You said "Do me a favour, if you wanna be my
Saviour then you're gonna have to learn how to sing"
