Charlie's Broken Metaphors (Live)

You remember where you're from
See the the sign which spells out 'all walk-ins are welcome'
And she's there in that perfect scene
And finally sighing you wake up from this dream

And with trees whipping by, speeding toward a fake memory
Just another hazy tint
A glimpse into the last hollow home
And with my hand tires and shaking
Your half hearted smile stabs at my memory
(LIKE A FUCKING ICEPICK!) and all because of you
I don't care if this world explodes

But as bored lovers sighed in their seats
I just sat, and laughed, and then saw you
And all your beautiful tragedy
But now even that's gone, and something else
My broken metaphors could never reveal your true self
And all that you were, but that was then
And of course it is always right now
And that you is gone somehow

Yeah, speeding down the road, unencumbered by anyone's load
But how I wish you luggage it could weigh me down
Cuz I can almost hear the sound of my old life coming into light
Leaving me stranded in the night
For I was always meant to be alone, lost, and strung out at sea
Yeah, I will always be the one looking after you long after I'm gone
