lyrics

A life changing injury
a sharp point between your teeth
two old flames crossing paths in a parking lot

You saw her car sitting in the dark
you turned around and there she was
stumbling like the world's smallest coward

I was thinking of you
what you'd want me to do
so I turned around and
walked away
maybe over the hills
maybe across the bay
I'll hear the twinkling of a tiny bell
that softest yell

A life I just threw away
close enough now to just say 'hey'
Two old flames crossing off in a parking lot
You thought you saw a familiar shape
stopped in your tracks because there she was
wishing she had hid so much sooner.

And I said oh my god
just what we needed and
lol just who'd have thought it
I'll just turn around
and let you going living this your cool new life
what ever that is

Were there scripts or strings or gods at play?
The night I first saw you, I swear you were in some spotlight take
And when we met as if by some star-thread grace
the us grew so fast and it held so quick I can't retrace

what a joke what a prank what a cosmic jest
that I'd have to leave you bruised and abandoned just so I
could let go of the weights and have the space
I needed who you deserved in the first place

All of these dreams what do they mean if they mean something?
While I'm out here dreaming about you I wonder if you're out there
dreaming dreams about me
and wondering
if all your dreams have some deeper meaning what could they mean
