Life Goes on (Part 2: The Usual Result)

All these things I create in my head; they mean nothing, just consoling linchpins
I'll put these delusions in motion; count myself back in, so back in inaction

My mind's a feral maze of shifting sands and aims
Which path do I retrace back to our younger days?

Life goes on. You have new plans, I have my old songs. Do I do this in vain?
I know you know but it's all I have to show
(Well I guess that it's best I forget this.)
Take me back to where we've been, help me find that thing I fell within. Fickle placeholders strain
I know you know, the greatest thing I had was holding on to hope

You'll move away and then I'll pretend that it's cool, we're still friends; long distance subtle end
And there's no invite to the wedding. I hope this song slips in my reservations

My mind's a neural haze, electric paths to change
Which tract do I retrace back to our younger days?

Oh no, oh no, you're never coming home

Take me back to where we've been, help me find that thing I fell within. Fickle placeholders strain
(We stayed up really late, we wished that everything fell into perfect place.)
I know you know, you were the greatest thing I had happen to me
(I just called to let you know that you were the the greatest thing that never happened to me.)
