lyrics

How are you supposed to know
how to start over?
Like the gas-lit stove in your house,
flames don't end and reignite alone.
"Hey, how've you been?" to you, is lusterless;
They can smell it on you...

How can you be perfect sunshine,
when he's tearing down your sky?
Nobody expects perfection,
except inside your eyes...

We're only here to wave and smile.
No conversation necessary for a while.
All you ever knew is just as it was before.
Everyone is drawing outside the lines.

You could never know the weight
of a four year toll.
I found you under the thickest cloud of ash.
It's all too much to be here on your own.
You were drowning in your home,
treading water but refusing to swim your way out...

How can you be perfect sunshine,
when he's tearing down your sky?
Nobody expects perfection,
except inside your eyes...

We're only here to wave and smile.
No conversation necessary for a while.
All you ever knew is just as it was before.
Everyone is drawing outside the lines.

This was your only outlet, or so you'd claim.
Always said "It get's better, we'll grow with age."
This was your only escape.
Always said you'd get better, at least we'd pray...

We're only here to wave and smile.
No conversation necessary for a while.
All you ever knew is just as it was before.
Everyone is drawing outside the lines.
