lyrics

I wrote it out a million times before I finally realized there's nothing I can do to quit you-
I caught a trace of your perfume as I was walking through my room
I stop to see if you'll materialize- but you don't...
You don't...

and every time I try to speak these thoughts emerge I can't complete-
I'm at a loss to find what's on my mind-
I sleepwalk through the serpentine imbroglios that you design -
your scent has lingered on my sheets for weeks, so I don't...
I don't...

Because I'm hanging onto the fear that keeps you here-
and you're feeding off of the fear that keeps me near
and I can't seem to quit you...

The northern lights will shine tonight like apparitions taking flight-
the present tense is just a metaphor
for walking backwards towards a door to put them where we were before,
but you're still in my mind when you're out of sight- so they won't...
they won't...

Calamity won't cover up- like white out poured onto blacktop,
A superficial fix is not a change-
With all the thoughts we've re-arranged
Our hearts somehow remain estranged-
Once a rift begins it never stops- no it won't...
It won't...

Because I'm hanging onto the fear that keeps you here-
and you're feeding off of the fear that keeps me near
and I can't seem to quit you...

I believe you, so I can't leave you
I believe you, so I can't leave you
I believe you, so I won't leave, no...
I believe you and I can't stay here anymore...
