Sediments

It's been a long time coming
It's been a long time coming around
It's been a long time building it up
Only to tear it down

She said, "why aren't you crying?"
Well honey I'm done being afraid
Because it's over doesn't mean
Giving up the life we made

We saddled up to settle down
Two steady rocks set in the ground
But the sediment's showing
And the sentiment's going away

Once heart to heart and hand to chest
These body parts only confess
What we thought we were feeling
We didn't know we were stealing the day

It's like a silent auction
With a reluctant auctioneer
With every word he mumbles
But he always states the winner clear

I've got a one way ticket
And I don't plan on buying the return
Cause where there's smoke there's fire
And I know I'd be the one to burn

We saddled up to settle down
Two steady rocks set in the ground
But the sediment's showing
And the sentiment's going away

Once heart to heart and hand to chest
These body parts only confess
What we thought we were feeling
We didn't know we were stealing the day

It's not beautiful or interesting
All that I know is just one thing
I'll never do again
Is make this promise to a friend

So I'll take it back and I'll take it forward
To the only one who's been at my door
She's just knocking on from the outside
Swears she's got nothing to hide

We saddled up to settle down
The stakes were high but we lost count
Of all the days that were numbered
We couldn't handle another

Once heart to heart and hand to chest
I swear to god I tried my best
But my best couldn't cut it
And now I'm wondering what did we do

It's like a two way mirror
Where you don't know you're on the display
When it's over you don't have
Anything left to say
