lyrics

I kiss the pavement that you walked on
I miss the basement that still lives on
In my memory as the place we fell in love so quietly
Now I can't stand to hear you speak
The timbre of your voice brings a tremble to my knees
When I say it's over
Believe me, I'm sober

Someday we can go home again
Someday I won't be so boring
And the towers we built will crumble and rust
This flesh that we love will wither to dust
These problems we have, they must be addressed
Like why this life seems like such a mess
We live as we choose and die at our best
I'll never learn

I keep apologizing every time I lash out at you
And I know that you're better off without me
And I'm so sorry for everything
Here I go again, reaching blindly for anything

Someday we can go home again
Someday I won't be so boring
And the towers we built will crumble to dust
This flesh that we love has betrayed our trust
Wounds we inflict were left underdressed
Why must these lives fail to impress?
We live as we choose and die like the rest
I'll never learn

Time passed through my grasp like grains of sand
You spread your wings when you fled this land
Looking for love I've lost in too big of a space
Trying to feel alive again by the touch of a stranger
Our hands built this house, but our hearts built this home
I hold my last feeling of hope our paths meet again

One day we can go home again
One day I won't be so boring
And no more towers will ever be built
We'll tear down our statues to greed and guilt
No more problems and no more pain
We'll seal our fate with a kiss in the rain
Destroy all your hate and change for the best
I'll never learn

I'll never learn
