lyrics

The last joke

That you told me didn’t use a single word

Instead, a gesture – a smile

That carried on for miles

Something broke

In that moment I would do away with hope

I drown in daydreams, you’re there

Every time, every time

It’s a shame that it happens

But it happens all the time, all the time

Just don’t read in between the lines

You don’t think it will happen

But it happens all the time, all the time

Just didn’t think it would be mine

In the crowd

Through commotion, and the voices crying out

I saw you standing, you smiled

Did you see me, I don’t know

I don’t know

I don’t know

It’s a shame that it happens

But it happens all the time, all the time

Just don’t read in between the lines

You don’t think it will happen

But it happens all the time, all the time

Just didn’t think it would be mine

I drove around the other day

Down past the buildings where you used to stay

At least it might have been

Hard to recall where anything begins

Just retracing my steps

Through the place that you left

In this town of unrest

I’m no longer a guest
