Lyrics

If you’re speaking to me as though I’m not in the room:
You’re not either
All these patterns from your past
I’m here under false pretense, as a witness
to your monologue, when I could be anyone -
You’d still be stuck in your story
I wish you could see
Your history is chaining you
We could let go and never lose
Nostalgia is killing us
I am a body in space, slipping in and out of doors, nothing more
I once lost years of my life
Searching through day and night
For a form that shifted shape a hundred times
The key can’t be retracing my memory -
I’d still be stuck in my story
I wish you could see
Your history is chaining you
We could let go and never lose
Nostalgia is killing us
No use in going through old pain, it will come again
The one before won’t be the last, of course
We’ll love again
