The Gaslight Anthem - This is Where We Part lyrics

rate me

Blazing through the cinder wearing nothing but the future on your sleeve

Wallow in nostalgia in your tiny universe, reigning supreme

Caught you running scared of the drum inside your head

Beating with the past, not with your heart

Another fire's just been lit, another set's been blown to bits,

An indifferent ending to the perfect start

This is where we part

And this is where we part

Let's not loop the subject or keep dwelling in your stories anymore

Granted we're above it, then why is there such a need to tell them so?

What went through your mind thinking I'm naturally inclined?

Knowing all these songs and have them sung by heart

The plain truth of it all is we heed two different calls

A match made in a wrong turn, drawing straws

This is where we part

And this is where we part

Waltz around these burdens thinking this is all it's ever gonna be

A strange sense of entitlement lit up by something ominous to me

And they hang on ever word, a complacent raconteur

All I can hear is hurt taken too far I've seen forks in the road before,

I'm not intrigued no more

By memory lane and what it does to the heart

This is where we part

And this is where we part
