lyrics

when we first met
i showed you all that i was
and i never deviated from that
how my first and second thoughts were
greedy little monsters
who didn’t mind you in debt
you gave me all
i ever needed and more
but the more had things that i couldn’t take
like decoded motivation
misinterpretation
of every move i’d make
you wanted me
to write more songs about you
and now i can’t stop
we’re no longer together
accord suddenly severed
i’m breathless from the shock

while you’re so
ready, set, go
and you’re off to the races
off on your own
no familiar faces
ready, set, go
and so sure of where you’re going
ready, set, go
and off to the races
off on your own
my familiar face is
crying by the road
i don’t know where you’re going

when you first left
you showed me all that you are
and i’ve finally made some sense out of that
how you first take all you want you
greedy little monster
and then throw out the rest
teach me to be
your weekend chauffeur and whore
how to fuck, what to think, and when to feel
don’t know when i lost control of
my will to tell you no but
you stole it for a meal
you wanted me
to write more songs about you
they’re all about me
i’m the light for your reflection
your eyes have full discretion
to allow me to be

but you’re so
ready, set, go
and you’re off to the races
off on your own
no familiar faces
ready, set, go
and so sure of where you’re going
ready, set, go
and off to the races
off on your own
my familiar face is
crying by the road
i don’t know where you’re going

turn, turn, turn, turn
turn, turn, turn, turn

cover that ground
with those tears and disgraces
spread ‘em around
make it wider in places
salt the earth now
leave us nowhere left to go
cover that ground
with those tears and disgraces
spread ‘em around
make it wider in places
salt circles now
leave us nowhere left to go

turn, turn, turn, turn
turn, turn, turn, turn
