lyrics

I had a key; you got a new lock
Left a note for you in street chalk
It's so much easier when we talk
Than making plans upon the sidewalk
Open a bottle to remember
We were almost getting nowhere
Although this sentiment is godsent
I don't care too much for credence

Speaking much louder than you need
You elaborate your pipe-dream
Is there someone who is listening?
All this logic has no reason
We could debate this thing for hours
We could speak a little louder
Indeed, we all may have a purpose
Yours is just making me nervous

A cigarette to help me look back
In the smoke, I see what I lack
What I see is not a new age
Just a memory in decay
As the days pass, it fades to nothing
With the convenience of a button
Lost in thought, a vision surfaced
In the language of the wordless

I can't tell
I can't tell
Just as well
Just as well
