lyrics

i fell - down the mountain
tumbled over rocks - the river broke my fall
and we ran - around the fire
chasing hurried thoughts - singing our old songs
and we lied - we lived the lie for a while
now it's done - i can't be everyone you want
now you're alone - pick up the phone and call the band
and we'll pick it up - try to hold it in our hands
and if it slips through our fingers - then we'll pick it up again
no love lost - no going back again

the busted string, the old guitar, the broken things - the big fire
throw the stone, the windowpane, the kitchen sink - the big fire
find the loose end, cut it off, light the faces in the dark
big fire, big fire, big fire
tired voices sign the songs we've been singing since we were young

we wash our faces, and we brush our teeth
we feel a little lonely then we fall asleep
we're all getting older, time is dragging on
nothing really changes, pass the buck and move along
