lyrics

Not who you elected
Or wanted, or waited, or expected
Wished for, asked for, suspected

Maybe we can leave it in the past this time
Maybe we can leave it in the past this time
Maybe we can leave it in the past this time

I’ve broken every promise
And laughed behind their backs
We’re jumping on the next train
We won’t be coming back

I’ve broken every promise
And laughed behind their backs
We’re jumping on the next train
We won’t be coming back

Halfway through this fiction
Some series, some re-runs of affection
With cut-ups and flashbacks and illusion

Maybe leave a message on the screen this time
Maybe leave a message on the screen this time
Maybe leave a message on the screen this time

I’d broken every promise
Didn’t try to get you back
One-way ticket on the night train
So you won’t be coming back

I’d broken every promise
Didn’t try to get you back
One-way ticket on the night train
So you won’t be coming back

Something we neglected?
A symptom, a relapse, an addiction
A crime we committed with conviction

Seems like we were asking for too much this time
Seems like we were asking for too much this time
Seems like we were asking for too much this time

I’ve slipknot-tied the contract
And covered well my tracks
The snow will fall at midnight
So the moon won’t lead me back

I’ve slipknot-tied the contract
And covered well my tracks
The snow will fall at midnight
So the moon won’t lead me back
