As always I’m still jolted by the crowds
I deal with life by taking things a day at a time
What about you, you’re not in a painful relationship are you
Reliving painful but sweet memories
I sometimes oversleep but I’m always on time
I’ve stopped with the hurtful lies
“You need to be decent” was my last promise
Means nothing unless you’re here with me
Unable to fly away, the earrings lying around in the corner of the room
Used to float, lined up in the shape of planets
Unbeknownst to me
My right earring holes had closed up
The gravity that pulled us together will probably never return
As always I still keep dreaming of you
If only I could keep dreaming and get back together with you
There’s a lot that’s not going my way
But I somehow keep breathing
I wonder who you’re with right now
What you’re wearing, which songs make you cry
The days when you were always beside me
Why couldn’t I realize the weight of it
Unable to fly away, the earrings lying around in the corner of the room
Used to float, lined up in the shape of planets
No matter how much time passes I still can’t
Throw them out
Probably never to return
A merry-go-round in the pouring rain
A late night show at the local cinema
Going home on the first train, glowing in the sunrise, absorbed in alcohol
Still in a haze we wrapped ourselves in a blanket, naked
Didn’t mind a thing as long as you were there
Unable to fly away, the earrings lying around in the corner of the room
Used to float, lined up in the shape of planets
Unbeknownst to me they’d lost their gleam
Polishing won’t make them shine, never to return
The gravity that pulled us together will probably never return
