lyrics

I will brace
To the warmth of the headlights
I'll go on
For the twentieth straight night
I'll be gone
Until the cavalry arrives
Yeah, none of what it used to be
So stop reminding me

Walking on a cul-de-sac
Compensate for what you lack
Maybe they will want you back
(Everything's impossible)
You can see what I don't show
You're hiding it under a stone
Don't let it out under the sun
'Cause the wax will melt when I'm gone

Daylight comes
Yeah that's how it's supposed to be
Wrap your bones
Clear the smoke in front of me
Lying alone
Shade of the grey old tree
Yeah none of what it used to be
So stop reminding me

Walking on a cul-de-sac
Compensate for what you lack
Maybe they will want you back
(Everything's impossible)
You can see what I don't show
You're hiding it under a stone
Don't let it out under the sun
'Cause the wax will melt

The wax will melt
The wax will melt
When I'm gone

Walking on a cul-de-sac
Compensate for what you lack
Maybe they will want you back
Everything's in front of you
You can see what I don't show
You're hiding it under a stone
Forgotten what I used to be
So stop reminding me
No, stop reminding me
No, stop reminding me
No, stop reminding me
