lyrics

And you always say you want to sit and talk about it, but you cannot seem to believe that two could try.
And you want to tell them all you know the truth about it, as they terrorize and deface what you confide.

There's a moment right before a vote of confidence when the truth is not true enough for everyone.
I paid too much attention; now I'm suffocated by a million animal eyes and all they spy.
Well, yes, I guess it is like that if you would ask, but is there a right way to say that you were wrong?
'Cause I make up a scenario that's got to be, then I chew off all of my nails trying to belong.

And you open out into nothing, hoping that the trains go,
the trains go far
and the planes go
the planes go far

I'm shouting at the coward in the mirror because he's laughing when I want to cry, and we both give up.
I said I think that broken love is like a drug to me with such bitterly blissful effects, I just wander back.
"Well, that's a cop-out and you know it!" I yell back at me, "now just get up off of the floor, you selfish child!
"'Cause you always say you want to sit and talk about it, but when it comes down to the words, there's just your side."

And you open out into nothing, hoping that the trains go,
the trains go far
and the planes go
the planes go far
