lyrics

there's no intention of going back where it began
still attempting to calculate what the distance is
a reference point on a worn out pilgrimage
a reference point on a pilgrimage

to an unfamiliar house with a bit of hope
adding to the growing pile of winter coats
candlelit with no more miles left to go
candlelit, no miles left to go

there were random painted words on the kitchen wall
the conversations in the living room were starting to stall
oh what effort it took to seem so casual
oh what effort to seem casual

the shadows were the only things not taking sides
while the strangers sat oblivious to the great divide
and the best laid plans said "not this time"
the best laid plans said "not this time"

we swore we'd do it all again but we never will
then filed back out onto the street like a fire drill
another round of memorizing capitals
memorizing capitals
