Tell the one you used to tell

Tell the one where in the end

Two lost people find each other

(on and on)

Tell us the one where they're together

Tell us the one where we could see

Ourselves in that very situation

(on and on)

Tell us the one where out of nowhere

Something wеnt wrong and you weren't

Sure if you could makе it out of this one

Tell us the one where we recover

Tell us the one where all we did

Actually made a difference

(your cadence slowed

The lights down low

Setting made a difference)

Tell the one where we all

Make it to a better place

You never believed it, did you?

I wanted to make it true

Though we never heard how it all ends

We both dreamt it the same

Your penumbra crept beneath the door

A dull unechoed form (reflected on the floor)

You didn't know I saw you standing there

(I didn't sleep at all)

Before your mirror

Do you ever watch until

The other body moves in spite of you

Statue still

Always they'd watch you

Always they'd watch you

And even in the absence of light

Middle of the night (like tonight)

If you let your eyes adjust

(tell us what you see)

You can see it watching, staring, waiting for you

And even through our affirmations

(there's no path through)

Even though we honestly prefer the illusion

There is a permanence in our despair

I take your arms and shake you from your sleep

I tell the one where one by one they came to visit you

(breathe in)

I tell the one where you had just imagined it

(breathe out)

I tell you the one where I will never ever ever go away

I tell them all but you don't care to hear it

And you turned away
