This is a Fire Door Never Leave Open (Live) - The Weakerthans[00:00:00]
Headlights race towards[00:00:26]
The corner of the dining room[00:00:28]
And half illuminate a face[00:00:33]
Before they disappear[00:00:37]
You breathe in forty years[00:00:41]
Of failing to describe a feeling[00:00:44]
I breathe out smoke against the window [00:00:49]
Trace the letters in your name[00:00:52]
Our letters sound the same[00:00:57]
Full of all our changing[00:01:00]
That isn't change at all[00:01:05]
All straight lines circle sometime[00:01:08]
You said somewhere there's a box[00:01:26]
Full of replacement parts to[00:01:29]
All the tenderness we've broken or let rust away[00:01:34]
Somewhere sympathy is more[00:01:41]
Than just a way of leaving[00:01:44]
Somewhere someone says I'm sorry [00:01:48]
Someone's making plans to stay[00:01:52]
So tell me it's okay[00:01:57]
Tell me anything or[00:02:00]
Show me there's a pull[00:02:04]
Unassailable[00:02:08]
That will lead you there from the dark alone[00:02:10]
To benevolence that you've never known[00:02:13]
Or you knew when you were four and can't remember[00:02:17]
Where a small knife tears out those sloppy seams[00:02:24]
And the silence knows what your silence means[00:02:28]
And your metaphors as mixed as you can make them[00:02:32]
Are linked like days together[00:02:38]
I still hear trains at night when the wind is right[00:03:27]
I remember everything lick and thread this string[00:03:34]
That will never mend you or tailor more[00:03:40]
Than a memory of a kitchen floor[00:03:43]
Or the fire-door that we kept propping open[00:03:47]
And I love this place the enormous sky[00:03:54]
And the faces hands that I'm haunted by[00:03:58]
So why can't I forgive these buildings[00:04:02]
These frameworks labeled home[00:04:08]
Headlights race towards the corner of the dining room[00:04:26]
And half illuminate a face before they disappear[00:04:34]
