Roches - Broken Places lyrics

rate me

Did you know me<br />

Long ago<br />

Were we close<br />

Before the sorrow<br />

If you thought of leaving any traces<br />

I'll be sifting through the broken places<br />

<br />

Did I know you<br />

Once upon a time<br />

You dreamed of me<br />

And now I'm<br />

Searching for myself in strangers' faces<br />

Stumbling onto further broken places<br />

<br />

She turns purple<br />

Am I blue<br />

Can't she fathom<br />

What I do<br />

Trying to get in her better graces<br />

Touching her in all the broken places<br />

<br />

I get crazy<br />

Not sure why<br />

Solace beckons<br />

Until I<br />

Go tearing off again on wild chases<br />

Crashing into same old broken places<br />

<br />

I am young so<br />

Who's to say<br />

But for now I<br />

Have no way<br />

Of knowing how much healing time erases<br />

Certain of these secret broken places<br />

<br />

Can't there be a<br />

Little breather?<br />

Our love is a<br />

Real seether<br />

To sore hearts we plead our hapless cases<br />

Rendezvousing at the broken places<br />

<br />

I love you for<br />

All of this<br />

Struggling towards<br />

Happiness<br />

When the chips are down we play our aces<br />

Hiding them in our broken places
