You say
You don't know what to do about it anymore
As I hang up the phone and shut the door
'Cause it's nothing new
Clouds steer us down I-85
And it's not meant for us to revive
You've got nerves of chrome as we drive from home today
From the old tendrils that twist and bend
Out of poisoned roots and weathered threads
Yeah we know now, it ain't nothing new
We've separated now
The known place has flamed out
And we're learning not to yearn for it at all
The grid went spinning out
There's no going back now
We're burning out, unfurling through the fall
One day, we won't think about it much
The sky will lift up and we'll be unstuck from these sickly cycles
In an old pattered loop
So we'll put up with the perfect kids
Who still talk too much and swing their heads
Salt caught in my throat as we can both pretend
Springtime in Carolina's fine
And we'll find a world to redesign
'Cause I got you and that's nothing new
We've separated now
The known place has flamed out
And we're learning not to yearn for it at all
The grid went spinning out
There's no going back now
We're burning out, unfurling through the fall
