Tell the one you used to tell
Tell the one where in the end
Two lost people find each other
(on and on)

Tell us the one where they're together
Tell us the one where we could see
Ourselves in that very situation
(on and on)

Tell us the one where out of nowhere
Something wеnt wrong and you weren't
Sure if you could makе it out of this one

Tell us the one where we recover
Tell us the one where all we did
Actually made a difference
(your cadence slowed
The lights down low
Setting made a difference)

Tell the one where we all
Make it to a better place
You never believed it, did you?
I wanted to make it true
Though we never heard how it all ends
We both dreamt it the same

Your penumbra crept beneath the door
A dull unechoed form (reflected on the floor)
You didn't know I saw you standing there
(I didn't sleep at all)
Before your mirror
Do you ever watch until
The other body moves in spite of you
Statue still
Always they'd watch you
Always they'd watch you

And even in the absence of light
Middle of the night (like tonight)
If you let your eyes adjust
(tell us what you see)
You can see it watching, staring, waiting for you

And even through our affirmations
(there's no path through)
Even though we honestly prefer the illusion
There is a permanence in our despair

I take your arms and shake you from your sleep
I tell the one where one by one they came to visit you
(breathe in)
I tell the one where you had just imagined it
(breathe out)
I tell you the one where I will never ever ever go away
I tell them all but you don't care to hear it

And you turned away
