lyrics

What do you care
Waving the curtain back
"We're on our way"
I've listened this and to what they say

Bring up my name,
Reveal a war of words
Are you still in that hiding place?
My concern is easily traced
It's just terribly placed

I was under the overpass
I was looking for you
It was not so easy

I won't dress in those rags again
I've never been so ashamed
Without a dollar to my name

I'm starting to find
This backward thinking is fine
One step ahead, only leaves you behind

Turn on your heel
Sure as the solid ground
Where's the luck you were aiming for?
Well it doesn't live here anymore
It's just not like before

I was under the overpass
I was looking for you
It was not so easy

I won't dress in those rags again
I've never been so ashamed
Without a dollar to my name

And I know one day you'll fall apart
Bending a branch in my hand
Screaming like the daylights

And I know one day you'll come undone
Pressing your palm into mine
Exploding in the twilight

I've broken, not just sprained, my emotions
They're shattered, bleeding fast
In the sand

Where you're afraid to stand
For fear of sinking
A thousand hands wave out to sea

And I know one day you'll fall apart
Bending a branch in my hand
Screaming like the daylights

And I know one day you'll come undone
Pressing your palm into mine
Exploding in the twilight

I was under the overpass
I was looking for you
It was not so easy

I was drawing on innocent
Memories I won't pretend
I never tried to forget
