(Verse)

Swayin’ lights on a hillside, almost forgot my name

Carside houses in the desert tide, they all look the same

And for a fleeting moment, there was terror in your eyes

A haunting revelation or a clever disguise

(Chorus)

Just give me that ellipsis

There was never any harm from a couple of dots

The time forgot, to fill up the empty pages

(Verse)

We built a fire in the kitty-litter mill, the old brick barely took the heat

Took a lot just to get our fill, pile of hot coals on cold concrete

At a glance I noticed, there were tears in your eyes

A total realization, we’d have to say goodbye

(Chorus)

Just give me that ellipsis

There was never any harm from a couple of dots

The time forgot, to fill up the empty pages

Please grant me that illusion

Of a different time, where the stories there, written with care

And nothing ever changes

(Verse)

Could you really see yourself completely fadin’ away

Or was it more like the reflection in a window pane?

Not quite so vivid, a couple shadows overlapped

And everything behind you, looks pale and trapped

(Bridge)

I’ve been lookin’ ‘round the streets tonight

With a melody so poor

And a collection of some words that rhyme

Help the drama to unfold

(Chorus)

Just give me that ellipsis

There was never any harm from a couple of dots

The time forgot, to fill up the empty pages

Please grant me that illusion

Of a different time, where the stories there, written with care

And nothing ever changes

Just give me that ellipsis

There was never any harm from a couple of dots

The time forgot, to fill up the empty pages

Please grant me that illusion

Of a different time, where the stories there, written with care

And nothing ever changes
