La Dispute - Fairmount lyrics

rate me

(Oh crashing airplane, where were you the day she left?)<br />

<br />

Underneath the laughs there lies a need<br />

That nobody is getting.<br />

And an honesty that doesn't stretch far enough<br />

To show us all how much this will mean to us, my dear.<br />

And when we're old we'll tell ourselves that we did<br />

Everything that we could to save this.<br />

But now--we do nothing.<br />

<br />

I've slept for twenty years, but I've acted strong at least<br />

If you're leaving again, then you're leaving again<br />

And you're gone.<br />

And I feel nothing anymore, so just keep walking away<br />

Thirty-thousand steps, <br />

I'll watch you for every second and never feel alone.<br />

<br />

I've been sleeping<br />

For at least the last two years<br />

My dear, my princess, my sister, my lover, my friend.<br />

I made you a bed of thorns for every rose you ever left outside my door, <br />

That's all you ever left me.<br />

<br />

Lay your scars out in rows, <br />

Lay your scars out in rows, <br />

Lay your scars out in rows<br />

To show me what I've done to you.<br />

<br />

Lay your scars out in rows, <br />

Lay your scars out in rows, <br />

It was my weakness that couldn't save us.<br />

<br />

So lay your scars out in rows, <br />

So lay your scars out in rows, <br />

So lay your scars out in rows for me.<br />

<br />

We were one, and what are we now?<br />

<br />

(Act strong, at least<br />

And don't turn around.<br />

If I'm leaving, then I'm leaving, and I'm leaving, and I'm gone.)<br />

<br />

We move as one.
