LYRICS:
"I want you to be happy. And um...that's like really what it comes down to. As one of my good friends in this world.
Um, I mean I hope that whatever happens that you
will be like...real happy. Not some sort of fake, 'settling' happy. You know? Huh."
Maze broken,
She’s runnin’,
Feet swollen,
He’s comin’,
Cheese stolen,
And before he even knows it she’s gone.
Tea cups sittin’ on the hollow tree stumps.
He’s dumped, and can’t seem to swallow these lumps.
The beat goes on.
Same fire,
New passion,
Old flame,
Traded in for a summer fling.
There’s nothing like that sweet old song.
Tip over root,
The trees bend,
The leaves blend
in with the open wound.
The freeze frames keep him warm.
The day’s frost
It's scraped off
The weight loss
The new sign that says "keep off"
He speeds off into the storm.
Out of spite the lighting strikes him twice.
He’s peaking out on the pike and cheatin life,
Peeling out on the lawn.
Now he’s idling,
Time is dwindling,
In his mind he’s figuring
out life’s about the little things.
And his labyrinth,
In all his magnificent,
Can only keep the mice trapped.
The princess is innocent.
She doesn’t belong…
(I never thought I’d miss you.)
They had a ceremony where he put her in a bridle...
the headstall.
She stopped to think for a minute,
and in a split second went AWOL.
(I never thought I’d miss you)
He'd draw in the chin as an expression of resentment or scorn.
Pulling on the reigns,
the bridle,
the shower,
the storm.
The maze,
the high tower,
clouds are at war…
The reigns,
the bridle,
the shower,
the storm…
The maze,
the high tower,
the clouds are at war.
The clouds are at war.
The clouds are at war.
(I never thought I'd miss you.)
