lyrics

Of all I can see in the rear view mirror, the white lines are the worst
It's hard to beat the suspicion that they're cursed and will follow me 'til I stop running away
Then maybe I'll turn all white and pure and cursed and the same
And who could blame me when they just won't let up?

To cheat and to lie, to love and die, kiss and cry, we try and why?
To see ourselves reflected in our lovers' eyes
That's the mirror I'm afraid of, in awe of
Because it's sort of like my best has been pawned off for hope


What do we do with hope?


They say confession is cathartic but once you start it you'll never stop
But when I confess I guess I fall in love and then it just has to stop
All the kind eyes and dark hair and soft lips and soft words
The attention, ascending far above the place I've earned

[All stolen, golden outward paper thin beneath
They end the same, my mind filled with rotten wreaths
I've made to commemorate myself so there's another side
Another side to a story that I wrote and can never hide]


What do we do with hope?


I've found the end so I'll go right back to the start
Won't waste my love on this righteous, jealous heart
If there's no end then I'll run right from the start
Won't waste my love on this righteous, jealous heart
