lyrics

Well, I met you on a Sunday,
on my birthday
Seems I finally made it here
at the dawning of a new year

You held me in front of you
My instincts linger
So I grabbed your finger
There’s still no ring there

You’ve been taking it easy
Oh, don't patronize me
'Cause with all of your words
It's indistinct and overworked

Why am I not surprised at all?
The wind is cold, creeping through the walls
Why am I not surprised at all?
The parts lost or misconstrued
The holes you sometimes sink into
The sparks that will shortly fill the sky
Most of them will be mine

I’m chewing on them again,
the syllables of my name
While you're taming your memory
with nursery rhymes or elegies

We’ve been taking it easy,
the animals and me
'Cause a life without words
has never made it any worse

Why am I not surprised at all?
The lies you've told stutter in the walls
Why am I not surprised at all?
The truth you sometimes stumble upon
The way you just keep walking on
The sparks that will shortly fill the sky
Most of them will be mine

Once this wristband is cut from my arm
You know, I somehow find it charming how you're fumbling
And I think you will acquire the skills
As I lie here still, I’ve got high hopes for you

Why am I not surprised at all?
The lies you've told stutter in the walls
Why am I not surprised at all?
The truth you sometimes stumble upon
The way you just keep walking on
The sparks that will shortly fill the sky
All of them will be mine
