lyrics
it seems we’re still the same
all these years of trying to change the pace
I’ve forgotten all the reasons
got a song for every season
and the things we know
could only serve to break our hearts if they should go
but we won’t miss the show
cause I -
I wouldn’t have to call them lies if I could read the signs
it’s begging to be clearer
no masks and no mirrors
it seems a world could break
all these years of trying to chase the rain
a pill with no placebo
a hand-me-down casino
All these ways we cope
trying to look beyond the winter sun and summer snow
look for the afterglow
but you -
you could be quicker than our cues if you just thought it through
something scary’s coming nearer
no masks and no mirrors
cause there’s much to hate
and there’s ways to blame the time and place
you’d kill it if you cared
but you keep away from prayer
cause you you got your hope
can’t let go of all those promises you never told
your secret fools gold
but we -
I could pretend it was a dream that cut you out of me
but every day we waste gets dearer
no masks and no mirrors
all these years of trying to change the pace
I’ve forgotten all the reasons
got a song for every season
and the things we know
could only serve to break our hearts if they should go
but we won’t miss the show
cause I -
I wouldn’t have to call them lies if I could read the signs
it’s begging to be clearer
no masks and no mirrors
it seems a world could break
all these years of trying to chase the rain
a pill with no placebo
a hand-me-down casino
All these ways we cope
trying to look beyond the winter sun and summer snow
look for the afterglow
but you -
you could be quicker than our cues if you just thought it through
something scary’s coming nearer
no masks and no mirrors
cause there’s much to hate
and there’s ways to blame the time and place
you’d kill it if you cared
but you keep away from prayer
cause you you got your hope
can’t let go of all those promises you never told
your secret fools gold
but we -
I could pretend it was a dream that cut you out of me
but every day we waste gets dearer
no masks and no mirrors
