lyrics

Half an hour past the time I said that I would go
Where we used to meet
The place is looking like an old friend
Who didn’t know the show was ending
If we do the math, I guess there’s still some time that I
Could pick up the phone
Make up a story that I’m running late
But I’m bad at lying, how should I explain?

You’re just the latest in a string of cancellations
Not a single outlier

I don’t mean to write you off, it’s just that
I’m feeling like a moth without a flame
And I don’t trust the game
If there’s a prize I’ll let you beat me to it
I'm sorry if I seem just a little distant
But lately I've been thinking
I might be frozen in the same place
And just didn't know it

Let's go to the beach, it's easy laying in the sun
Maybe take a hike
No need to worry, only trees around
The leaves alive until they fall down
It's such a mystery,
So simple just to write a word on a calendar
But when it comes around the doors are closed
Why should they open if my mouth won't?

I'm sure there's someone else who can do
Everything for everyone
But I'm too tired

I don’t mean to write you off, it’s just that
I’m feeling like a moth without a flame
And I don’t trust the game
If there’s a prize I’ll let you beat me to it
I'm sorry if I seem just a little distant
But lately I've been thinking
I might be frozen in the same place
And just didn't know it
