Idlewild - Readers & Writers lyrics

rate me

There is no time out of mind around you

All things must pass away

All things have memories

Closer than their living day

No time out of mind around you

Everything must pass away

The words have meanings

Readers have writers

Bigger than the consequence they have

You are bigger than the monuments we have

And you call yourself a heartbreaker

There's still no time out of mind around you

The characters fall away

On a Paris street corner that fades into the day

But for unexplained reasons you

publicised your life away

The words have meanings

Readers have writers

It's not the consequence they have

It's bigger than the monuments we have

And yet you call yourself a heartbreaker

The words have meanings

Readers have writers

They try without trying

And they lie without lying

And they always lie

The words have meanings

And the meanings are bigger than the monuments we have

You are bigger than the monuments you have

And only lost when your heart was broken
