lyrics

starsfade

these are my last orders, take my things and head for the border
cause I don't want to see you where we lived -- doing the things we did,
in places I should be.

I could be in a perpetual nightmare or lost in the circle of your soft warm light
keeping a record from your eyes.
Maybe I won't care at all but I think that I might.

You'll be in a brand new screenplay. Making it hard for me to recognize the way that you walked. The way you fell towards me, like leaning into a strong wind.

You'll drive faster to lose me, chase those lines and pass right through me
But you won't keep me, won't say my name. Cause I'm the one who failed to leave anything behind.

These are my last orders, take my things and head for the border
cause I don't know want to see you where we lived, doing the things we did in places I should be.

You'll be in a brand new screenplay. Making it hard for me to recognize the way that you walked. The way you fell towards me, like leaning into a strong wind.


And you said we'd want all the stars to fade from the fire behind our eyes.
And you said one time that it's far too late to make love not war,
to settle the score.
