lyrics

September winds cut through our coats and burned us layers deep
Bitter iron to the bone
We never would have woken up if either one of us
Had made the other sleep alone
But as we were, we understood, and we kept warm the best we could
And never even thought about our homes

May no one ever thank the dead
For putting this fear back into my head
May no one see the panicked sweep
Beneath my bed, before I sleep

The taillights cast our shadows in the opposite direction
That they pointed when we met
A shame we only coincided for a few short years
I'm sure you've done your damnedest to forget
And when the plane pulls up its landing gear, it'll take you far away from here
But I don't need you to think I need you less

May no one ever thank the dead
For putting this shame back into my head
May no one see the panicked sweep
Beneath my bed before I sleep

Where have you gone—or have you gone at all?

May no one ever thank the dead
For putting this nightmare back in my head
May no one see the panicked sweep
Beneath my bed before I sleep
